Recovery Meditations

When we first came into recovery we tended to focus on our past behaviour.

When we come into Christian gatherings we often hear of the great love that God has for each of us.

Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives’ tales.

The ultimate lie of Satan is to get us to believe that we are God.

No matter how strong we feel, it’s not enough to bring us through to sustained recovery.

As we enter this new year, we can do so with confident hope.

Addictions and dependencies are not just alcohol and street drugs.

Addiction affects the whole person – physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social.

As we enter into this new year, Jesus invites us again to consider his wonderful invitation: Jesus said “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

"Mercy heals, but unforgiveness makes you a perpetual victim" (Bob Gass WFT, 2013).

We are people who have lived troubled lives. As we reflect on the events of 2012, many of us can find troubled times without searching for too long.

The wisest man of his time, King Solomon, worked hard to get an amazing temple built to honour God and be a place where people could come and worship Him.
