Meditations on "Lies"

Dishonesty is a tool we use to protect ourselves from shame, guilt, or embarrassment.

We cannot control all our circumstances, but we don't need to let a difficult situation negatively impact our day.

Today in North America we honour and give thanks for the collective labour-force of people within our families, our communities, and our nation.

We tend to base our security on the experience of our personal relationship with others.

Negative feelings are usually attached to a lie. To get beyond negative feelings we must reject the attached lie and choose for the truth while our feelings are still vulnerable.

God's purpose in creating humans in His likeness was that they would live in loving relationship with Him and with each other.

People who wink at wrong cause trouble, but a bold reproof promotes peace.

We hang around with all sorts of people in a variety of situations.

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

God says we are precious in His sight. God, through Jesus, has provided a way for us to leave shame behind and live in honour and dignity, regardless of what has happened in our past.

God wants us to be successful in recovery and in life.

It is God’s plan that we not only know truth but believe truth, speak truth, and reorder our lives so that all our actions reflect truth.
