Add Some Light

 Let’s throw a little light on the subject…

Light sure makes things easier for us. 

We have different lights for different needs. 

Sunlight is necessary for all living things. 

Light bulbs give us access, safety, and convenience in our daily lives. 

It’s part of our culture to use the term “throw a little light on the subject” when we want to draw attention to an observation or discussion point. 

Have you considered how we use the Lord’s light in His Holy Spirit? 

When we walk in the light of the Holy Spirit, our path is illuminated with grace, hope, and we find ourselves in the company of fellow believers and not so alone anymore. 

Try turning on the light of the Holy Spirit next time you feel alone or confused. 

It will amaze you how different things look and feel in His light!..

“I must turn in all things to the Father of Light who presides over us all.” Big Book pg. 14 

Lord, let us continue to seek and dwell in Your light as we seek Your will and grace daily, AMEN. 

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another” 1 John 1:7 

Have a blessed day Y'all!

Looking Out for Others

Charity begins at home...

This is one of the best thought tools I have come to rely on over the years. 

The version I learned was phrased like this; "You can't keep it unless you give it away."

It's an action thought that has never failed me since I began my walk with Christ and in sobriety. 

Unless I am willing to help another, I am not in a position to spiritually receive the gifts the Lord blesses me with. 

Now this doesn't mean we should give away everything we have, or start a crusade to end world homelessness,..

but it does mean that each day we should open the eyes of our hearts to see how we can best be of service to someone around us...

"Helping others is the foundation stone" Big Book pg. 97. 

 Lord, please open the eyes of our heart daily to see how we can best serve another, AMEN.  

"that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27

How Are You Asking?

It’s all in how you ask… 

Have you ever asked or prayed for something only to either not get it or get something you were not expecting? 

For years I have been asking and praying for weight loss, six pack abs, and a Tim Berry physique but y’all know that ain’t happening! 

I am sure many folks ask to win the lottery, but we all know how that goes! 

The thing I have learned in my sobriety and in my walk with Jesus is that it is OK to ask for things….BUT…. make sure we are asking with an open mind, willing heart, and correct motives. 

It seems all these years I have asked for weight loss while not being completely willing to do the required work on my part with diet and exercise. 

When I do ask in prayer with the right motives, the right things happen. 

While I don’t have six pack abs and a Tim Berry Physique at the moment, I have lost 127 pounds over the past 4 years. 

So, for me, the lesson is to look at my motives before asking in prayer to make sure they are backed by willingness and effort on my part. 

When I do this, things tend to work out pretty well. 

How’s this working out for you in your asking and prayer life?.. 

Check your experience… 

“Before we begin, we ask God to direct our thinking, especially asking that it be divorced from self-pity, dishonest or self-seeking motives.” Big Book pg 86 

 Lord let us ask You for anything with an open mind, willing heart and motives not based on self-will, AMEN. 

“You do not get things because you do not ask for them. Or if you do ask, you do not receive because your reasons for asking are wrong. You want these things only to please yourselves.” James 4: 3-4
