Recovery Meditations

Taking responsibility for our lives, from God’s perspective is: owning our behaviour, confessing our sin, and turning away from destructive actions.

Accepting responsibility for one’s behaviour is not a popular trend in today’s culture.

When another person is gathered in the same place that we are do we smile and say “hello” or, do we grunt and wish that there was no one else here but us.

Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.

We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves.

Become wise by walking with the wise; hang out with fools and watch your life fall to pieces.

When someone starts to build they usually have a plan in their mind or directions on paper such as blueprints which guide the person to accomplish what they want to achieve.

All week we've been looking at various reasons why we struggle with feelings of guilt.

It's so hard to take responsibility for our part in things that have gone wrong.

We all make mistakes and we all have recorded these events and played the recordings over and over in our heads.

For hundreds of years, people used an inventory the church called, "Seven Deadly Sins" to help them recognize ways they'd gone wrong in their daily living.

Many of us are plagued with a nagging sense of guilt--sometimes repeatedly throughout the day.
