Meditations on "Faith"

Too many people think that all the fun gets left behind when we are no longer going to bars and parties where substances are used and abused. What many of us have discovered is that there is much more enjoyment in the fun times of life when we experience them sober rather than when we were “under the influence.”

When thanksgiving becomes a way of life rather than a day of celebration on the calendar, life will change for us.

Insomnia is extremely common in active drinkers and in those who are in recovery after having stopped drinking. The God who created us promises sleep to those he loves – that’s us.

What we have to say truly matters because God’s wisdom is precious and uplifting to those who are still in bondage to their old way of thinking and unmanageable lifestyle.

We serve others as an expression of our love and gratitude to God. When our hearts are uplifted by God’s goodness, we seek to bless others as we have been blessed. The focus of our service is simply our loving response to God’s work in our lives.

The winds of time will change where we are at, but the Word of God is unfailing and will remain forever.

Learning how to communicate well is an essential part of this new life with God in recovery that we are now living.

As we walk in conscious contact with God, He is faithful to complete what He has begun in us.

God’s ways are different from our former ways and from the ways of society in general, but with patient endurance and the Power that is greater that ourselves to help us, we can learn to live in ways that please God.

Jesus taught that we are to ask God to forgive our wrongs as we forgive those who have wronged us.

For most of us, when difficulties surface, and we can easily become discouraged and intimidated by not finding quick solutions to our problems. Then, overwhelming feelings of wanting to run set in. The biggest obstacle to staying on course is, looking for solutions to our problems without seeing God’s help in the resolution of them.

God has given us every spiritual blessing so we can do those things that He has planned for us to do.
