Meditations on "Acceptance"

When sheep are under the care of the Good Shepherd they can lie down and know they are safe in His care.

God wants to help us know what is right and good. All we have to do is ask Him.

Outside of God, we can’t even maintain the desire to do what is right let alone find the strength to act on what we know we ought to do.

Recovery begins when we admit that the power behind our addiction is beyond our control.

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.
