Knowing the Truth

**How do we know what we know….**

There are all kinds of ways to learn.

Memorizing things imprints them in our brains for a needed purpose.

Book learning helps to grasp a concept or way of thinking.

Cramming for a test gets us through the test.

We learn things daily through our experiences.

**But think about it, how do we KNOW stuff?**

While we have many ways to learn, the only way we truly ever know anything is by the experience gained that is imprinted in our hearts.

***This is why the Holy Spirit lives in each of our hearts.***

**God opens our hearts to receive the true knowledge we need, or, if you will, the truth…**

Check your experience…

***“Some of us have taken very hard knocks to learn this truth” Big Book pg. 98***

*Lord, let us willingly open our hearts to be filled with Your knowledge and truth, AMEN.*

***“And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32***

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Kindness to Others

**Helping others helps yourself…**

Whenever we help someone, we are helping ourselves.

Helping others is an invitation to give.

It’s an insight into where we are spiritually with our willingness to help others.

**Finally, this is an incentive to look past our needs and wants to help another person.**

***So while we are built spiritually to give and help others, are we actually willing and able?..***

Check your experience…

***“It is not the matter of giving that is in question, but when and how to give.” Big Book pg. 98***

*Lord, thank You for giving so much to us in blessings, favor, and grace, please let us give back by giving to others what we can when we can, AMEN.*

***“He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done.” Proverbs 19:17***

Have a blessed day Y’all!

***What if you had a person who coached and mentored you in building a better life?***

Que sera sera, whatever will be will be..

What makes the Bible so vibrant and vital to every generation and time period, including today is the fact that despite minor details, there is nothing new that the Bible doesn’t address.

Think about it, the character defects of Pride, Anger, Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, and Sloth (PAGLEGS to my 12 Step friends) are the driving forces behind every incident of self will here on Earth.

God knew this when He created us and knows this to be true of every human because it’s included in the DNA of our free will.

Our hope is in the fact that we can turn our will over to the care of God and then these defects of character no longer run our lives and put us into situations that cause us and others pain…

Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change. Big Book pg. 84

Lord, let us turn our will and our lives over to you daily and receive grace, peace, comfort, and direction, AMEN.

“What has been is the same as what will be, and what has been done is the same as what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9
