Reflection
When I saw the opening quote, I was reminded that all of us are broken, exploded, and scarred.
Some of us admit this and know we need a savior, and others don’t, or if they do, they try to straighten out their brokenness on their own.
When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, His light begins to shine through us despite our defects.
Slowly our guilt and shame from our sinful ways are replaced by humble gratitude because of His grace and mercy.
This must take place daily.
When it does.
We have peace.
This is also a note to me. 🙂
John 16:33, “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
Journal your thoughts:
What am I grateful for today?
In what way(s) will I bring light to the world today?
What will I deny myself so I may draw closer to God and gain more peace in my life today?
Prayer:
God, I offer myself to Thee—To build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life. May I do Thy will always! Amen. (Third Step Prayer – Chapter 5, pg.63, The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous)
