Meditations on "Faith"

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.

Avoiding reality will hinder us from having the meaningful, purposeful life that we desire.

God’s Spirit makes us loving, happy, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle, and self-controlled. Galatians 5:22-23a CEV

The new life in recovery to which God invites us, is one of gentleness and speaking the truth in love to those around us.

God’s unfailing love throughout our recovery is powerful enough to sustain us and help us overcome evil.

Today is a day to honour Fathers. Some of us are Fathers. All of us have a Father. The relationship of a loving Father to his child is a picture of God's heart for us.

As we spend time with God each day and practice His teachings, He gives us a discerning heart to know His ways.
