Catch Someone Doing Good!

Catch someone doing something right today!..

Have you ever noticed how much our news and all forms of media are filled with negativity, fear, and doom? 

More importantly, how are our eyes and ears drawn to it? 

Come on now, be honest, what magazine do you stare at in the checkout line at the grocery? 

It's our cultural norm based on our instinctual self-willed human nature. 

We are trained from a young age to look for the bad and the wrong. 

It's even a large part of corporate leadership training. 

No one gets sent to H.R. for good deeds!..

There is hope however! 

Using our spiritual growth and God's Word we can teach our hearts and train our minds to seek out the good in people, places, and things. 

I promise that when you do, your day will go better, and your world will change. 

 Try it and then... 

Check your experience... 

"We found that God does not make too hard terms with those who seek Him." Big Book pg. 46 

Lord let us look for the good with the eyes of our heart, AMEN. 

"…let us encourage one another." Hebrews 10:25 

Have a blessed day Y'all!

Hearing and Doing

Hearing and doing equals action… 

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just absorb information and it instantly transformed us? 

I would love to buy the CD of whatever product is selling on TV promising me incredible life changing results and just plug it into my listening device and have the words bring the transformation instantly. 

Heck, I could be healthier, wealthier, and wiser! 

But… 

Most of us know that is not how it works. 

Work is the operative word here. 

We have to provide not only the WILLINGNESS to CHANGE but also the ACTION and WORK…

Check your experience… 

“To be vital, faith must be accompanied by self-sacrifice and unselfish, constructive action.” Big Book pg 93 

Lord, let us hear and act when Your Holy Spirit and Word give us direction, AMEN. 

“So pay attention to how you hear. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what they think they understand will be taken away from them.” Luke 8:18 

Have a blessed day y’all!

Is Our Free Will Free?

The consequences of free will… 

We have speed limits that suggest how fast we should go. 

We have warning labels on products to help us understand their intended use. 

We even have instructions on other things to help us use them correctly, like “rinse, lather, repeat.” 

Even though we are free to do what we want, ignoring these suggestions can lead to consequences. 

It’s the same with our free will. 

While we can choose to behave any way, we like, but we are still accountable spiritually and morally. 

I have made enough poor choices in my journey to learn that I GET what I GIVE. 

These days I try to follow the speed limits and align my will with God’s instead of doing my own thing. 

How’s it working out for you?.. 

Check your experience… 

Wasn't it because self-reliance failed us?” Big Book pg. 68 

Lord, let us enjoy the blessings and grace of seeking Your will and not be blinded by the illusions of self will, AMEN. 

“You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is good for you.” 1 Corinthians 6:12
