Meditations on "Recovery"

While winter is often connected to darkness, sadness, and feeling bleak, snow is one of God's bright reminders to us that when we confess and turn away from our sin, we can live clean and face life in sobriety with dignity.

One day Jesus and His friends faced a huge problem.

An important part of recovery is coming to an accurate view of what went wrong in our relationships.

There is no more tiring way of life than being a phony.

When we are troubled and looking for help, who or what first enters our mind?

In life there often seems to be two groups of people, those who speak well and look good and those who always seem to get things wrong.

We live in a beautiful world created by God. Because God desired it, He made humans in His own image.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Just for today I will try to live in conscious contact with God praying only for knowledge of His will and the power to carry it out.

If we want to experience healthy and joyful relationships with God and with others each day of our lives, we will have to be willing to change our former ways.

If asked, how many people around us would say we have the quality of being agreeable?

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