Meditations on "Acceptance"

God has solutions for all the problems we face whether it’s problems brought on by our own actions or the actions of others.

When our hearts are surrendered to God, we will desire to choose God’s way rather that our own flawed way.

We are not shaped so much by our environment as we are by our perception of our environment. The way we think has a powerful impact on how we face life each day. If we are not thinking right, it will be reflected in our emotional state and in our actions.

God's Word gives us clear instructions, so we can determine how our way of living lines up with His directions

God offers us comfort for our grief and healing for our hurts, but this requires complete honesty in what we are willing to reveal and deal with.

God, who has begun a good work in us, will see it through until Jesus comes again.

This all-powerful God is our Heavenly Father who takes great delight in us, His precious children.

Avoiding reality will hinder us from having the meaningful, purposeful life that we desire.

The new life in recovery to which God invites us, is one of gentleness and speaking the truth in love to those around us.

If we find it hard to love those around us, let’s ask God to fill us with His love and goodness, so we can love others as He loves us.

Demanding people believe they are entitled to what they deem to be their rights. On the other hand, a person making a respectful request recognizes that granting any request must be left to the discretion of the person being asked.

Like the first followers of Jesus, we also need to take time to meditate on what He is saying, ask questions, and attentively listen for explanations
