Meditations on "Encouragement"

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.

Making amends is a test of our integrity to honour others above ourselves.

Only obedience to the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit can keep us from returning to familiar patterns.

We must seek God and give Him control in revealing what needs to go, as well as when, and how.

We’re not stupid because of something we don’t know, we’re simply humans in need of teaching and encouragement.

In every situation, we choose to do the things we know to be right, then prayerfully wait in God's care and protection until our problems are resolved

The kingdom of God is an everlasting kingdom in which we, who have given our will and lives over to the care of God, are citizens.

Our worth to God is more than we could ever imagine.

Every A.A. group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions. AA Tradition 7

Forgiving others is something we must take very seriously if we want to protect our sobriety.

Unless we have the Power greater than ourselves living in us, God knows we would never be able to fulfill our promises.

Showing mercy and forgiveness is proof that we are walking in the light of God’s love, and it has brought peace to our souls and settled our hearts.
