Recovery Meditations

"Live and let live" is one of those slogans that encourage us to consider if our desire for control is becoming an issue we need to deal with.

When we turn our will and our life over to God’s care and trust in the new life Jesus gives us, does that mean we should never reflect on guilty feelings?

God created us in love and desires that we love Him with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our strength, with all our mind, and that we love our neighbour as ourselves.

Many of us lost our true identity because we grew up in dysfunctional families and were forced to assume survival roles.

Since God has always loved us and consistently called us to Himself, it makes sense that in recovery we can expect God’s grace and love to take us forward.

A dollar bill is only as good as the government or bank that has promised to give value to the holder of the bill.

Just for today I will try to live in conscious contact with God praying only for knowledge of His will and the power to carry it out.

Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path .

Our pride often keeps us from asking for what we need.

None of us like criticism but all of us should take time to hear what is being said and deal with it.

After years of listening to another’s harsh and condemning words about us, it’s wonderful to have an opportunity to experience the affirmation of God and to be reminded that as we walk with Him, He is well pleased with us.

Common sense and wisdom are learned in many ways. We are encouraged to pursue habits that draw wisdom into our daily living and interactions with others.
