Recovery Meditations

Jesus came to earth when the nation of Israel was ruled by Rome.

Wise people are willing to listen to sound advice and learn.

When we first come into recovery our expectation for a life free from crippling dependencies is huge.

Some people throw surprise parties to celebrate the birthday of a friend.

When we accept Jesus as our Saviour and Lord, we receive the same right to the promises of God as a son or daughter has when they inherit property from a parent after their death.

When we come to the point of making amends, fear can overwhelm us as we think about those we have harmed.

In recovery, as well as in addiction, one can have a victim mentality.

When we are trying to do what is right and live according to God’s principles, we will often experience comments from others who remind us of our past and the things we did.

How many times did people try to help us see the truth about our problem when we were active in our addiction?

We lost our way. That's an obvious fact. We fell into addictive and destructive lifestyles.

God won’t stop us from making bad choices. His desire for us to experience true life and love is a choice He gives us.

Sadness is one of the most common human emotions and can be difficult to deal with.
