Recovery Meditations

God calls us to overcome shame by living in community with Him and with others.

God’s Power is awesome to save us from sin but, if we fail to reverence and follow God’s laws, our lives will be in danger. 

Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know. (Proverbs 3:5 GNT)

We have become beloved sons and daughters of God.  This is the truth that frees us from our past life. 

  If we are to reach maturity, we need to faithfully follow God’s principles in all our affairs.

Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts are higher than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:9 ERV)

Do for others what you want them to do for you.  (Luke 6:31 ERV)

Our ways are changing, and new life is developing in us every time we ask God to remove a character defect.

When God is silent, He is not deaf or dumb.

We need the continued care and guidance of God as we learn to come alongside others and work co-operatively with them towards our common goals.

We need to be patient with each other until we come to unity in our faith in this amazing God who has been extremely patient with all of us.

Because Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross paid the price for all sin, even deliberate sin, we are promised complete forgiveness when we repent.
