Recovery Meditations

Most people who are in recovery want to learn from the experience, strength, and hope of others.

Those of us who have acted on the saying “God could and would, if He were sought” have witnessed the blessing of God in our lives.

After all the hype and preparation for Christmas we now get back to quieter days before the New Year celebration.

Jesus is born – born for us. The God who created heaven and earth put on flesh and was born in humble circumstances so we could experience love and find hope for a relationship with God that lasts forever.

The very heart of God is enduring love, and nothing will ever change that.

Many children will go to bed tonight with the thought “One more sleep until Santa Claus comes.

The celebration of Christmas encourages us to give gifts to those we care about.

For those of us who live in the northern hemisphere this is both the shortest day and the longest night of the year.

What came first, the chicken or the egg? When we called out to God in our powerlessness, did we suddenly show up on His “locating system” or was He already waiting for us to call so He could help us?

In the Bible we read of many festivals that the people of Israel celebrated because God had intervened on their behalf.

Christmas decorations, inside and outside malls, stores, and homes, have been put up to celebrate the Christmas season.

As we prepare our hearts for the celebration of Christ’s birth, some of us may have negative memories and regrets about past Christmases.
