Meditations on "Forgiveness"

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

Following through requires that we be like Jesus and do the will of God no matter the cost

Forgiveness is the only way to stop the ongoing pain from buried grudges.

If someone was to evaluate our daily interaction with others, would they describe us as gentle or harsh?

God has given us spiritual friends to accompany us on our journey to recovery. 

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

God calls us to overcome shame by living in community with Him and with others.

We have become beloved sons and daughters of God.  This is the truth that frees us from our past life. 

Do for others what you want them to do for you.  (Luke 6:31 ERV)

Because Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross paid the price for all sin, even deliberate sin, we are promised complete forgiveness when we repent.
