Meditations on "Surrender"

Moving forward in identifying character defects and allowing God to help us develop our true character is no easy process.

What does it mean to humbly ask God to remove our shortcomings?

For all of us there came a time when we could no longer avoid the realization that our lives were a mess.

Anger in our society is rampant. Most of us have a hard time dealing with anger.

We are experts at rationalizing – attempting to excuse, minimize, or justify our bad behaviour.

We will experience freedom and fulfillment in life only when God’s desires become our desires, God’s way becomes our way, and God’s word becomes our action plan.

Just for today I will seek to serve others with kindness, doing what is right, and walking humbly with God.

We don’t need to be told that emotional trauma is painful.

How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!

In the past, one of the lies we bought into was that the party life was where the greatest enjoyment of life was to be found.

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

God is willing, and more than able, to remove all our defects of character if we humbly ask Him.
