Lessons In Truth by Emily Cady Study Group

This is one of my favorite books. I read it all the time, re-read it when I am starting to get stressed out. I hope you like it too.

So the very first thing I want to talk about, in the first chapter of Lessons In Truth, is the idea of keeping you mind open, so you will not be putting, "New wine into Old Skins", Luke 5:37. So what does that mean to you?

(By the way, this would be a great time to also start a journal, just for this book. That way when you run into these questions, you can write them down. And anything that might come up. So if you have read chapter 1, re-read it, adding this tool.)

Can you become like a little child, in order to learn something new?

 

Have you stopped to think what it means to be heirs of God? Or joint-heirs with Christ?

 

What is your daily Meditation practice? Do you have one? Now would be a great time to start one!

 

When I started to learn to meditate, someone gave me some rosery beads, the gifted me the Honopono saying,"I love you, I am sorry, please forgive me thank you.", focusing on God, not asking for anything, just letting go of all thought, using each bead, to keep count. I still use it.

Learning to stop and take breath and letting go of everything, takes practice, just start with 3 minutes. What works for you?

 

Page 15,passage 38, In Lessons In Truth, it suggested that, "God is my Defense and my deliverance", to be used when we feel we have been wronged, and have forgiven someone. This would be a great thing to use during meditation.

Another, was "The Lord is My Sheppard, I shall not want", letting rest the things you may want, allowing God to take over knowing that God will bring it to you by just letting it go, allowing yourself  the knowledge that what come can and will be even better.
