Meditations on "Humility"

We are created to serve God and bring joy and blessing to others. God promises to help us. Are you and I willing to step forward confident in who God says we are? Are we willing to follow His ways and the plan He has for each of us?

We experience true freedom when we have a clean slate before God.

We need to deal with our feelings about a person in a "let go and let God" way.

As long as we are living and breathing there is still hope because God continues to invite us to a new life with Him.

God keep our land glorious and free. O Canada we stand on guard for thee.

When we fail to wait for God to act and seek an alternate way, just like in our impatience with traffic congestion, we often end up in a worse mess.

Jesus’ advice to us when we feel disgust rising in us is to find a way to love.

God alone knows what is best for each person. Only God has the foreknowledge necessary to guide us over the long haul.

One of our first priorities in recovery is sorting our life practices according to the truth.

We feel many things in recovery. Some negative and others positive. There are feelings of fear and uncertainty about our future, and guilt and shame over things done wrong in the past. If we pay attention, we will also notice feelings of joy and relief that we have finally escaped from the bondage of our addiction and recognized that we truly do need help.

A saying we often hear is, “What goes around comes around.” God’s word brings a positive truth to this saying. His promise is that as we bless others we can expect God to bless us.

No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others.
