Meditations on "Recovery"

If we desire to be joyful in our recovery, we will need to be mindful of our thoughts and actions. We need to find out what God’s principles are for successful living and reshape our behaviour around them.

We were born again from above into the family of God and given the will and desire to live a life of moral excellence.

We will never feel acceptable to God or to others while we allow who we truly are to be determined by our past.

At the time we are most weary, how comforting to hear the words of Jesus inviting us to come to Him and He will give us rest.

Anyone who has made an honest attempt at recovery knows the hard work that is required. What gives us encouragement and hope is that many who have diligently done the required work have succeeded.

Recovery is a process where, with God and trusted caring people, we begin to come alive …and start dealing with our darkest secrets.

Dealing with a bad reputation is one of the most difficult things to face as we seek to live well in recovery with God.

If real change and growth is to take place, our lives need to be given over to the care of God.

Today, I reaffirm my trust in Jesus, who has done for me on the cross what I could not do for myself

It is a fair question to ask why we are bored and impatient with where life is at today.

This love recognizes the gifts that God gives each person, and our need for one another, so we can be complete

It’s in the turning of our will and our life over to God on a moment by moment, day by day basis, that we are safe under the protection of God.
