Recovery Meditations

Giving our will and life over to the care of God means that we allow God to determine what is good for us, believing that He works all things according to His will for us

A humble life is grounded in a realistic view of ourselves.

To be kind to our neighbour, we need to be discreet in the way we speak about others

When we put our hope and trust in the unfailing love of God, we become His precious children, and our Heavenly Father rejoices over us.

If we ask God to show us the root cause of our actions, He will expose those things that keep us in bondage to our former ways.

What a blessing when we could finally say to God, “Take my will and my life and make them conform to the plans You have for me.” 

Turning our will and our life over to the care of God always involves action. 

The religious leaders saw themselves as the 99 good people who did not need to change.  Some of us are like them too. 

When we live responsibly, God will abundantly bless us.

But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins. (Matthew 6:15)

However, if we try to live our life with selective surrender to God’s will, our chosen disobedience will cause us to stumble and fall.

The quicker we admit we got it wrong, the quicker we can build on the lesson learned.
