Your Mistakes

Sometimes when we make mistakes we view that as a personal failure, a slice of proof that we are unintelligent or unteachable.  That is simply a lie that we perceive as true because other people don't have trouble with the things we do.  That part is true!!  Other people have problems with other things we find simple.  But this is pointless, lets talk about the reason!!

Fear of being ridiculed or labeled as stupid, drives us into despair.  We may view ourself as unworthy in God's eyes.  We fail doing something once and then give up.  So after that we have to act tough, be indifferent, use, drink, hang with the crowd we think fits us, or worse, sell ourselves.  Could you imagine if babies only tried walking once and then gave up?  Lol

Mistakes are inevitable, so the Bible tells us , and self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices show us that it takes time to perfect anything.  So mistakes are simply something to learn from, not hide or avoid.

Empathy

Its something we all seek to a greater or lesser degree!

What is it really?  Its not something you need a PHD for.  You don't have to be good at math, or be methodical, or efficient.  You don't need perfect eyesight, be athletic or beautiful. Money, power, or prestige don't matter at all. Your color, ethnicity, and intelligence have little to do with it.

It is simply understanding!!  You need it and I need it.  We need to receive it and we need to give it!!  But most importantly, we need to show it and teach it too!  Chaos exists because we are ignorant to the fact that understanding would clear ALL transgressions.


Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices give us tools to understand the inner working of those around us and vice-versa.

Tricky Maneuvers

We watch people sail through life, seemingly stepping around obstacles, bowling over problems, and out running traps.  But we smack into these obstacles, get rolled over, and trampled.  Why?

It's all about education!  We haven't figured out just yet that we can do all those things that other people do to avoid trouble.  We haven't learned that we need to work now so we can party later.We may see our future like a train light coming towards us in a dark tunnel.  Those stealthy people see their future as a vast open natural field with them being the train light.  While we stressfuly party under the pin light in the dark, they work hard in broad daylight so they can party later.  That's the difference.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices give us ways of pulling the blinders off so we can properly see where we are going.

Purpose of Learning

Why do we need to learn things about how society acts?  Why should we conform to the laws of the land, or for that matter, "the laws of God"?

Welllll...The habits of a healthy society are the very ones we abandon under stress.  Chances are these things are our fault, I mean we had a pretty good idea of what is right or wrong but chose wrong anyway!! Why?  When you grow up in chaos, its hard to live in a law biding society.

I guess that brings us back to why do we need to learn how society acts?  Maybe we just need to prove it to ourselves that the law of the land stands, because good people want it that way.  Truth be told: we didn't have a good teacher or we were left on our own and now seeking attention.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices teach us to respect; people, laws, customs, but more-so, the Word of God!

Plain Old Hatred

You have to look at why you hate someone.  It's usually because they remind you of you!!  Their mannerism are mirrored and shockingly reveal our mannerism.  We just don't like what we see.  So if we aren't honest with ourselves, we ignore, avoid, and criticize them.  That way we don't really need to acknowledge those horrible traits in us.  Projecting those unpleasantries gives us a...well...security blanket that makes us comfortable with no reason to change, because now its someone elses problem!!  I am who I am, but they are way worse.

Shunning our own failings is an addictive and compulsive behaviour.

Self Help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices help us to clean the mirror.

I Used To Love You

How can you not love someone you used to?  We say we stop loving because we found something out about someone, or we can't forgive them for something we deem as wrong.

Maybe we are just avoiding them because they speak truth we don't want to hear?  Maybe our carnal instincts for substances or emotions lead us away?  Maybe we are too self-righteous and look down on them?  Maybe we personally wrestle with disobedience?  Maybe we lord things over them and they are avoiding us?  Or maybe we do things to annoy others and they don't love us anymore?

Maybe its time to look a gift horse in the mouth and realize that we are all fallen sinners, we all fall short no matter how right we think we are.  The opposite of "running away and condemning" is "running to and forgiving".  So it must be evil because God is Love!!

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices help us notice the maybes?

Creating a Ritual

You see someone who is wholesome and righteous in your eyes, someone you want to emulate.  Maybe out of respect we don't ask them why they do the things they do because we don't want to appear like a simpleton!!  You copy their mannerisms and the things they do.  But do we ask why?  You take on their beliefs and start speaking their language.  But why?  You do well with that and others start emulating you and the things you were taught. But do they ask us why?  We may not give an answer anyway, because we don't know why either.   That's how false religious doctrines and questionable ways of living start, because we don't study the Bible, a book that could answer all of our questions.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices give us the opportunity to see these verses in action and to question everything "ANYBODY" tells you about doctrines on "ANYTHING".
