Don't judge a book by its cover... 

Looks can be deceiving, especially when we allow our judgement to be based solely on what we initially see. 

Perhaps it's different for you, but I have shared before how my magic magnifying mind likes to trick me into trusting the ideas it generates on its own just for me. 

It pays to learn more of the story before we pass judgement. 

Years ago, when I was living and working at the Salvation Army, we had this very small man named Joe as one of our clients. He walked funny and had a hard time finding words so it was easy to pass him by as another needy and hopeless cause. 

However, as I got to know Joe and hang out with him, our friendship grew and I learned that before he had a stroke in his mid-20's from his drug addiction, he was a powerlifter in the gym and a college graduate with a promising career in engineering. 

Joe taught me and others to use the gym safely and encouraged me to get my college education and pursue God's calling on my life. 

I am glad I took the time to get to know Joe before he went home to the Lord a year later. He helped me a lot by speaking into my life as a friend and a guide. 

Any "Joe's" in your life where you don't know their story?.. 

Check your experience... 

"We let God be the final judge." Big Book pg 70

Lord open the eyes of our hearts so we can see those You send to us, AMEN. 

"Do not judge according to appearance" John 7:24

Change your thoughts and change your world… 

If we can change our thoughts, we can change our attitudes. If we change our attitudes, we can change our actions. If our actions change then our behaviors follow. Finally, if our behaviors change, then so do our habits. 

It starts with us folks. 

We need not let the actions or influences of others control us and no matter how good it looks on the TV or the internet does not mean we HAVE to HAVE it to be complete! 

God gave us free will for a reason in order to allow us to consciously make our choices and decisions based on what’s in our hearts and not dominating our mind’s eye at the moment...

Check your experience...

“The persistence of this illusion is astonishing.” Big Book pg 30 

Lord, let us be transformed by seeking Your will daily and not falling to the illusions of the material things of this world, AMEN. 

"Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you,” Romans 12:2

I can't. .. HE can. .. I think I will let Him... 

We humans are amazing creatures. 

We are blessed with this gift called free will and we dress it up and disguise it to ourselves and others as "will power ". 

We attempt to do many impossible things with it and sometimes we even succeed and then allow ourselves to believe the delusion that we did it all by ourselves. 

The truth is that while yes it does take will power to go to work, make a meal, and participate in the lives of those around us, more often than not, we are the recipient of God's blessings and will for us when the bigger things happen. 

Take a moment today and look at all the good things around you and in your life. 

Are they really ONLY from your will power?.. 

Check your experience... 

"Lack of power that was our dilemma. We had to find a power by which we could live, and it had to be a Power greater than ourselves." Big Book pg 45 

Lord, we thank you for the blessings in our lives that mainly come from You when we turn our will and lives over to you, AMEN. 

"Then Job answered the LORD and said, I know that You can do all things, And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted." Job 42: 1-2

Spring cleaning... 

Summer is just around the corner and most of us have thought about and perhaps even engaged in some form of Spring Cleaning. 

Maybe we cleaned and organized our homes, moving the clutter and no longer needed things to the trash. Some of us might even have looked in our clothes closets and removed our winter garments to make room for our summer wardrobe. 

Out with the old and in with the new is our Spring-Cleaning motive.... 

What about the clutter of fears, resentments, anger, and other things in our hearts and minds that hold us hostage and block us off from the Son-light of the Spirit? 

 Isn't it time to clear these self-centered thoughts and emotions out of ourselves? 

It's a spiritual principle that when we find ourselves angry and or hurt by people, places, things, and or situations it's because there is something spiritually wrong inside of us that needs to be attended to and corrected or cleaned if you will... 

Check your experience… 

"Continue to watch for selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear. When these crop up, we ask God at once to remove them." Big Book pg 84 

Lord let us open our hearts and minds to be cleansed by your Holy Spirit to remove any and all fear, resentment, anger, and self-generated pain, AMEN. 

"Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.” Ephesians 4:31

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…

Have you ever noticed the fruit produced tends to depend on the health of the tree? 

Trees that are given ample water and live in well-maintained soil produce the best fruit. Trees that get little water and are in not so fertile soil don’t produce much fruit and the fruit that is produced usually does not compare in quality to a healthier tree. 

If you think about it, our lives are the same way. 

When we are connected to a healthy, positive, and nurturing spiritual, emotional, and physical environment, we tend to be healthy for ourselves and others. 

When our surroundings are full of negativity and all kinds of chaos, we struggle to receive the spiritual food needed to be healthy… 

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree! 

How fertile is your environment?.. 

Check your experience… 

“His roots grasped a new soil.” Big Book pg 12 

Lord, let us surround ourselves with a fertile environment filled with love, grace, and growth, AMEN. 

“I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit.” John 15:5

We GET what we GIVE…

As we celebrate Mother’s Day, a great example of unconditional love is seen in a mother’s love for her child.  

Because we are human, it’s a part of our DNA to unconsciously and naturally seek unconditional love. 

Most of us spend our lives seeking it and never quite finding it. 

Perhaps it’s because we are looking with the wrong motives. 

We GET what we GIVE. 

This is a spiritual principle. 

In my experience I have only received unconditional love when I am in a mental, spiritual, and emotional state to give this. I have learned I must first give unconditional love in order to be able to receive it. God loves us unconditionally but until we are willing, we cannot receive His love. 

It’s the same with our relationships here on Earth. Until we are willing to give love unconditionally, we cannot receive it. … Check your experience…

“Love and tolerance of others is our code.” Big Book pg 84 

Lord thank You for loving us unconditionally. Please open our hearts with Your Spirit to enable us to be willing to give love unconditionally so that we may receive it, AMEN. 

“As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you;" Isaiah 66:13

Solid as a rock… 

Have you ever noticed how buildings are constructed? They usually start with a very solid and firm foundation. Next follows steel, iron, or whatever sturdy and strong material is used to build the frame. 

The point is that things that are built to last are built upon solid foundations with firm and reliable materials. 

It’s the same with our lives. 

When we build our lives on a solid foundation of spiritual principles including, love, grace, tolerance, honesty, hard work, healthy relationships, and service to others we wind up with a stable, secure, and vibrant life. 

What are the principles you are using for the spiritual foundation of your life?.. 

Check your experience… 

“Have we skimped on the cement put into the foundation?” Big Book pg 75 

Lord, let us build our life upon the foundation we have through our faith and trust in You and Your Word, AMEN. 

“For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 3:11

"THEY" just don't understand...

Most of my early life, I was under the impression that "THEY" knew best, and we should try and please "THEM". 

I spent a lot of confused years trying to make THEM happy and wondering who THEY were. 

Finally, when I had my spiritual awakening and turned my will and my life over to God and I no longer needed to worry about pleasing THEM or THEY! I have found grace, growth, and abundant life through my daily walk with God. 

I still don't know who THEY or THEM are and I no longer care... 

How about you? Are you spending countless frustrating hours daily in trying to live to please THEM hoping THEY are happy with you, or are you seeking God's will daily?.. 

Check your experience… 

"...if only people would do as he wished, the show would be great. Everybody, including himself, would be pleased." Big Book pg 61 

Lord please let our hearts remind our heads that we can't please others through our own will power and we are not responsible for others happiness, AMEN. 

“It is dangerous to be concerned with what others think of you, but if you trust the Lord, you are safe.” Proverbs 29:25

Are you "salty" enough?..

Salt can change, preserve, and add value to what it touches.

But it is up to us to use it—or not....

We can use way too much salt and that can be bad for our health as well as those we cook for. We can also ignore or choose not to use salt and that can also have negative effects on us and others.

We are given talents and gifts to use.

Like "salt" we can use these way too much or not at all.

How are you choosing to use the "SALT" of talents and gifts in your life?

Are you changing, adding value, preserving, or just not using it?..

Check your experience…

"Keep on the firing line of life with these motives and God will keep you unharmed." Big Book pg 102

Lord let us use the salt of the gifts and talents You give us to enhance our lives and others, AMEN.

"You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned?" Matthew 5:13

The “inner-net’ connection… 

Plugged in, wired, and networked are terms we associate with our communications these days. I am glad I no longer need to figure out how to “interface” with folks!  

Wi-Fi and internet are the connections we seem to chase the most these days as we rely more and more on social media to get our “message” out there to “build our brand”.  

It sure feels like we need to constantly be networking ourselves to others to stay connected in today’s world.  

How do we stay plugged in to the things that keep us grounded, stable, and secure? 

What about our internal connection to God and the Holy Spirit? 

I am grateful that I have been shown and taught to seek quiet time daily, and even hourly at times, to connect with God to stabilize my heart and quiet my mind.  When I do this, I become grounded and connected in the right way that makes my day go in the direction it needs to instead of more out of control. 

How are you keeping your inner connection solid?.. 

Check your experience… 

“In nearly all cases, their ideals must be grounded in a power greater than themselves,” Big Book pg xxviii

Lord, let us seek Your grace and guidance daily to be grounded securely in your will and not fall victim to the illusions of worldly clamors, AMEN. 

“In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” Isaiah 30:15

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 came only from daily physical, mental, and Spiritual work as well as 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

Let’s throw a little light on the subject...

Light sure makes things easier for us. We have different lights for different needs. 

The 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!

Change your mind… 

Have you ever noticed how much our minds tend to magnify the things that are fear driven? 

Its human nature for this to happen but it’s sad to see so many of us get caught up in these delusions that are created in our minds as we hold onto these thoughts and let them grow in size and strength. 

There is no need to become a prisoner of our fears. 

We can break free of fear’s hold on us by simply changing our minds. 

The next time you find yourself being held hostage by fear. Ask the Holy Spirit (Prayer) to remove the fear and replace it with a thought of helping someone else (Faith). 

Try it! 

You can do it and as always… Check your experience!.. 

“At once, we commence to outgrow fear.” Big Book pg 68 

Lord let us use our faith to replace the fear that tries to “divert our minds, AMEN. 

 “…be made new in the attitude of your minds;” Ephesians 4:23
