Meditations on "Forgiveness"

Forgiveness is the only way to stop the pain of a buried grudge.

We don’t have to have perfect parents to honour them as God intends. We can learn from their wisdom and their mistakes.

When we are operating with a victim mentality or are trying to be a saviour, we need to allow Jesus to heal us and bring us peace.

Negative feelings often contribute to our inability to do the daily things we need to do as we stay clean and sober, and unless we are careful, may lead us to relapse. How can God help in these circumstances?

If our desire is to live in a more loving way towards others, we need to know that we ourselves are loved.

We will experience the freedom that gives us hope when we believe God’s promise to free us from our bondage.

From before the creation of the world God planned, through Jesus’ death and resurrection, the amazing gift of forgiveness and eternal life with Him for each one of us.

We do not face any crisis alone, we do it with God, and He has committed to helping us be overcomers.

Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our Traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.

The building block for living well in recovery with God is changing our mind about who is responsible for our brokenness and how we got to where we are.

We make direct amends to the people we have harmed, except when to do so would further harm them or others.

Let’s not waste time on trying to get even and instead co-operate with God and really get ahead
