Recovery Meditations

God created us for a life with Him that is full and good -- an abundant life.

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

God knows that it is easy for us to fall into fear.

God is good and God desires good for each of us all the time.

When we come to new life in Christ we seek after truth in all our affairs.

The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked.

Denial is described as a refusal to admit the truth or reality of a situation.

Our quest for true peace begins at birth. As babies, we long for our mother’s comforting arms, as children we yearn for happy experiences that are void of fear, and as adults we strive to find success and fulfillment through relationships and jobs.

What kind of commitments do we make? How do we feel when we make and keep a commitment, even when it's challenging to do so?

Commitment is asked of us in numerous areas throughout our lives: marriage vows, appointments, work, volunteer jobs, friendships, contracts, bill paying, promises made to parents or children, getting to work or school on time, etc.

Three of the most comforting, encouraging, and life-giving words in the English language are, "I love you".
