Meditations on "Amends"

Jesus told the story of two men who went to church to pray.

When we turn our will and our life over to God’s care and trust in the new life Jesus gives us, does that mean we should never reflect on guilty feelings again?

Just for today I will be agreeable. I will not criticize, not find fault, and not try to improve or control anybody except myself.

When we're making amends, we need to be wise in the way we go about it, being careful not to cause others further injury.

Making amends is a responsibility we must take very seriously if we want to protect our sobriety.

Having a loving relationship with God and praying with Him about everything we do is the foundation for those who seek to live with God in recovery.

An important part of living with God in recovery is coming to an accurate view of what went wrong in our relationships and doing our part to make things right.

We are just moving into summer and hopefully looking forward to long hours and days in the sunshine.

As we recover from addiction, it is emotionally draining when we come to the place of dealing with the harm we have caused others.

Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.
