Recovery Meditations

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. 

Recovery is more about the story of God’s faithfulness to us than it is about our strength to endure.

We thought that the pain and dysfunction experienced in our addiction was the only problem but now realize there were other contributing factors

As we walk with God, we will become more confident that He truly is a place of refuge from the storms of life

We can’t change the fact that our world is imperfect, but we can choose our attitude. 

Showing mercy and forgiveness is proof that we are walking in the light of God’s love, and it has brought peace to our souls and settled our hearts.
