Meditations on ""

When we come into recovery one of our priorities must be sorting life according to what is true.

We will experience freedom and fulfillment in life only when God’s desires become our desires, God’s way becomes our way, and God’s word becomes our action plan.

My Lord, you heard my groaning. You can hear my sighs.

Years of aimless living in addiction kept us from becoming focused, well-organized, and productive.

As some of us consider the history of our lives – whether before, during, or after active addiction – gratitude might not be the first response in our hearts.

One of the promises given to us as we grow in our recovery is: No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others.

When we turned our will and life over to the care of God, we gave God permission to take our unmanageable life and make us new.

An owl makes us think of wisdom. We assume a person who reads a lot of books or has a few college degrees must have a lot of wisdom.

God created us to live in loving relationship with Him.

In the Bible, sheep and shepherds are often used to teach us important spiritual lessons.

Many of us blame God because bad things happened to us when we were powerless to change the situation.

To live with wisdom in recovery requires humility.
