Regaining Our Sight

Regaining our sight... 

Have you ever noticed how our attitudes, behaviors, and even our sight can be influenced by pride, anger, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, and or sloth? (PAGLEGS) 

These are influenced by our self-driven fears and change how we see things from how things actually are. 

Vision influenced by emotions is not clear vision. 

This poor vision leads us to all sorts of bad choices, actions, and decisions. 

Check your "vision" next time you are being led by emotions into hasty actions. 

Turn your will over to God and watch your vision (and emotions) be restored...

Check your experience... 

"His presence had been blotted out by worldly clamors, mostly those within me. And so, it has been ever since. How blind I had been." Big Book pg. 12-13 

Lord open the eyes of our hearts so that we can see past the emotions of the moment, AMEN. 

"Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit." Acts 9:17 

Have a blessed day Y'all!

Not For Sale

It ain't for sale.... 

Just about anything we could possibly want or think we need is available instantly these days. 

From the basics of food, shelter, and clothing to instant fixes from pills, powders, and motivational mojo, we can get it instantly with our bank cards and money. 

Maybe it's different for you but I have learned the hard way that none of my flaws, defects, or shortcomings can be fixed instantly and from purchasing that latest thing they hawk on the TV. 

My weight loss and restored health journey comes only from daily work and proper eating. 

My fears and pride are only managed through a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance and growth of my spiritual condition. 

I know I cannot buy my grace from God. 

He does not offer it for sale!..

But He gives it to us for free when we become willing...

Check your experience...

"What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition." Big Book pg. 85 

Lord thank You for giving us Your Holy Spirit freely when we become willing to receive, AMEN. 

"And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money, saying, 'Give me this power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit.'" Acts 8: 18-19 

Have a blessed day Y'all!

Light It Up

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 is part of our culture to use the term “throw a little light on the subject” when we want to draw attention to something. 

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! … 

Check your experience. … 

 “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!
