October Change and Facing It

Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.

— James Baldwin —

Reflection

This quote reminded me of a nugget of wisdom I picked up many years ago in an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

A person shared their story and said, “I used to run away from my problems by making geographical moves. Then one day, I realized with each move, I continued to have the same issues. It was on that day that I realized the problem was me.”

Fact

If I’m not the problem there is no solution.

Question

What part(s) of your life is God calling you to face and change?

Have you asked God for the courage to make the change?

There is no better prayer than the Serenity Prayer when it comes to making positive change in your life:

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

The courage to change the things I can,

And the wisdom to know the difference.

John 14:26, “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.”

P.E.A.C.E.
