From the Heart

 It’s a matter of your heart… 

Have you ever had a situation where even though you are there, your heart's not in it? 

Perhaps it’s out of your immediate control and for the greater good you need to be there, but given your preferences, you would choose to be elsewhere. 

I am sure we all have these times, and we manage to get through them just fine. 


What about your faith? 

While it’s good to go to church and participate in worship, 

it’s not so good if our hearts are not in it. 

God doesn’t care where we are physically at, 

but He does want our hearts to be open and full of faith. 

Believing is a heart matter and our actions show our faith… 

Check your experience… 

“It was only a matter of being willing to believe in a Power greater than myself. Nothing more was required of me to make my beginning.” Big Book pg. 12

Lord, let us keep our hearts open and filled with our belief in You and Your promises, AMEN. 

“For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.” Romans 10:10 

Have a blessed day Y'all!

A Daily Dose

Just a daily dose…

We have pills to fix our headaches, ointments to relieve sore muscles, and all kinds of over-the-counter instant fixes for most of our other aches and pains .There is even a pill to help our liver! Didn’t know my liver even needed a pill!..  NO my AA, SCAA, and other 12 Step friends, there IS NOT a pill to replace the Steps and meetings!  What about our spiritual weaknesses and flaws?Anyone know of a pill for that? What I have learned from those who showed me is that I have a relationship with a living God that I need to maintain and grow through my daily pursuit of His will and Word for me. This way of living has brought me a life even better than my dreams. Even though I am not perfect and I screw up daily, as long as I seek His will over mine, it always works out…Check your experience…  "What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition." Big Book pg. 83.Lord let us fix our frailties and heal our spiritual wounds through our daily relationship with You, AMEN.    "Therefore, strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble, and make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed." Hebrews 12: 12-13Have a blessed day y’all!

The Power of Choice

 The power of choice… 


We face many choices daily but for me, the most important and constant choice I face is to either seek God’s will or follow my own self-will. 


Maybe some folks think like I used to think   when I was first saved that I no longer had to battle with life’s twists, turns, trials, and temptations, because I had Jesus in my heart.


However, the fact is that God loves us so much that even though through Baptism He fills our heart with His Holy Spirit,

 

He loves us so much and so unconditionally that He allows us to keep our free will. 


Now perhaps it’s different for you, but this is exactly why I must make the choice daily and even hourly at times to seek His will and not give into my selfish self-centered will. 


How do you handle this choice?... 


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, thank You for loving us so completely and unconditionally that you let us keep our free will. Let us exercise this power of choice and choose to seek Your will in all things, AMEN.   


“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him. This is the key to your life. And if you love and obey the Lord, you will live long in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” Deuteronomy 30:19-20 


Have a blessed day Y’all!
