Meditations on "Acceptance"

This all-powerful God is our Heavenly Father who takes great delight in us, His precious children.

Avoiding reality will hinder us from having the meaningful, purposeful life that we desire.

The new life in recovery to which God invites us, is one of gentleness and speaking the truth in love to those around us.

If we find it hard to love those around us, let’s ask God to fill us with His love and goodness, so we can love others as He loves us.

Demanding people believe they are entitled to what they deem to be their rights. On the other hand, a person making a respectful request recognizes that granting any request must be left to the discretion of the person being asked.

Like the first followers of Jesus, we also need to take time to meditate on what He is saying, ask questions, and attentively listen for explanations

Our God is a God of order and when we live in the structure and order He has planned, things go well for us.

Reprogramming our minds may be challenging at first because some of our thinking is hidden in the comfort of the half-truths that we believe.

No one is worse off or better off than us. Their journey of recovery is just different.

To be effective in our new life in recovery, we need to choose to follow God’s ways. We need to find new sources of interest and a new set of skills to help us stay clean and sober.

One of our first priorities in recovery is sorting our life practices according to the truth.

When Jesus says our wrongs are forgiven, they are truly forgiven.
