Meditations on "Acceptance"

Just like it was for Mary, this ordinary day may become a not-so-ordinary day if we are willing to embrace God’s plan for our lives and allow God to work in us.

“Hark, now hear the angels sing, a King was born today, And man will live forevermore, because of Christmas Day”

The true purpose of Christmas is God’s plan to give us eternal life through Jesus. He awaits an invitation to come into our lives and make His home with us.

If we are not loving God with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind, and all our strength and loving our neighbor as ourselves, then we are choosing to disobey God, and this will have a negative impact on all our relationships.

God promises to provide all we need so we can live well and do wonderful things

Together with God any difficulty can be worked out and overcome

Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! (2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT)

Our worth to God is more than we could ever imagine.

Following through requires that we be like Jesus and do the will of God no matter the cost

Our public relations policy is based upon attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio and films. AA 11th Tradition

We need help from everyone who can enlarge our vision and broaden our perspective

The founders of AA were very clear that we needed to know both God’s will for us and have the power to carry it out.
