Meditations on "Recovery"

God is always with me. I need never face my problems alone.

Just for today I will be agreeable. I will not criticize, not find fault, and not try to improve or control anybody except myself.

"Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!" This is the signal used around the world when an airplane or boat is in trouble - usually big trouble.

None of us will get through life without suffering.

The Bible tells us that on the third day of creation God spoke and vegetation was created on the earth.

We will come to experience a secure and happy life in recovery as we learn to be grateful and appreciate the smallest blessing of each day.

Some of us in recovery have transitioned from knowing little or nothing about the amazing God who pursued us with His love to completely giving our will and our life over to His care.

We have all been hurt and let down by others. It's simply part of being around humans.

In the Bible Jesus told a story of three servants who were given various amounts of money to use or invest on behalf of their master.

How are we to deal with a person who falsely accuses us of something we did not do?

God is tender and compassionate. Knowing and believing that God tenderly watches over us with compassion will allow our hearts to be filled with peace.

Hunger and thirst are basic human needs. When basic needs are not met it's difficult or impossible to give ourselves to other tasks.
