Meditations on "Acceptance"

What seems impossible for us to believe is only impossible when God is not involved

Becoming strong and steady in our recovery requires that we keep on listening to and learning from God's Word and from the experience, strength, and hope of others.

We may not know how to overcome all that is wrong, but today we can choose for a new way of living.

Few people are more aware of their need for God’s help to restore them to sanity than recovering addicts. What a relief it was to turn to God who was ready, willing, and able to receive and restore us.

If we ground ourselves in God’s will, He will take care of the rest.

As we follow God’s principles in all our affairs, we will experience great peace, and nothing will cause us to stumble.

If real change and growth is to take place, our lives need to be given over to the care of God.

If we do the right thing, we will not only find the life we long for but will be a positive influence on others as well.

We won’t necessarily understand WHY we are at peace, but we will recognize a calmness and a serenity in a deep place within us that wasn’t there before.

We don’t have to have perfect parents to honour them as God intends. We can learn from their wisdom and their mistakes.

God’s plans for us are better than we could ask for or even dream about for ourselves

God knows that unless we deal with the underlying root of our habits and addictive practices, we will remain doomed for failure.
