God Direct Me

A few bullet points to jog the memory of those who attended service Sunday, May 5, 2013   -   To read the full text, click here.

 “Return to the LORD, your God, for he is gracious and compassionate… and abounding in love…” (Joel 2:13)

·        God never angers. God is gracious, compassionate and abounding in love. That’s why it’s important for us to become aware of (return to) the awareness of the Presence of God.

·        We can begin our return by saying, “God direct me.”

·        “God’s Help” comes as a result of allowing ourselves to be directed by divine truth, as best we understand it and have practiced it, which, then, results in our lives changing for the better.

·        God’s power is present in every one of us…we must allow it to move and be ready to move and change as necessary. (i.e. do something differently)

·        Invite God into your life – in other words, live according to your highest understanding of divine truth… and be ready. Be ready to think and act differently… and you’ll have a different experience because you won’t do those same things that have kept you corralled into the same experience.

·        The idea that we cannot change is a human lie we tell ourselves.

·        Can you move beyond your limitations? The answer is, “Yes, you can!”    

·        Mt 5:14 “YOU are the light of the world,” not you are a faceless, unimportant ho-hum member of society…, but YOU are the light (the expressed truth) of the world!

·        When you are in partnership with God, when you follow the teaching of Jesus Christ (not just read about them and be able to repeat them, but really live them) you make a difference right where you are – your family – job – business – service to mankind – because you have been willing to let God direct you.

·        We need to believe in bigger possibilities, not just as individuals but s a nation and as humanity.

·        We’ve all had mountains to climb so big and so powerful we didn’t know how we’d do it.

·        The important thing is to keep climbing, but don’t climb alone.

·        God is there holding the rope. You do what is possible and God will do the impossible.

·        You are the light of the world – you are the truth in expression in the world; you are the hands, feet, and voice for God in the world.

·        If you are willing (and willingness is key), let “God Direct Me” be your mantra this week.
