Meditations on "Obedience"

Our bodies are not our own but belong to God. Life with God in recovery gives us the opportunity to explore and live in this truth.

After years of uncertainty and upheaval at every turn, it's wonderful to recover a life that has some stability.

When we talk about intimacy, we are usually referring to a close, familiar, protective, loving relationship between two persons. Our Heavenly Father desires to have an intimate relationship with us.

It is not God's plan that we swing between the extremes of being pushy or being passive.

To come out of the shadows and live in the light, we must be willing to shift our focus from our grief and woundedness to God’s comfort and care.

God accepts us as we are and invites us to rely on His strength to help us live life successfully.

From time to time we all have anxious feelings but we can choose to make our feelings line up with our decisions.

We are instructed to work hard, to give our work the best effort we can, and to be contented with what we have.

God’s will and God’s ways work every time and will bring us peace and stability.

The goal of Step 9 is, wherever possible we are to make amends to people we have harmed, except when to do so would injure them or others.

The first step in rooting out shame is to receive God’s forgiveness for any ways we have sinned against God and others.

The way to having more than enough for all our needs is to trust God’s word and act on it.
