Meditations on "Recovery"

Let me tell you why you are here. You’re here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth.

When we turn our will and our life over to the care of God, one question to ask ourselves is, “Do we really trust God to do everything He says He will do”?

E Practicing an attitude of gratitude – is this just a happy little slogan or is it a way of daily living that will change our perspective on life?

At various times in our recovery journey we are asked to take personal inventory.

“We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

Shame is a powerful emotion that repeatedly tells us we are worthless, unacceptable, unforgiveable, and have no place in a loving relationship.

Jesus gave us very clear instructions about loving our enemies and doing good to those who despitefully use us.

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

Have you ever been for a hearing test? The tester gives instructions to the person being tested, and then puts that person into a cubicle with ear phones.

Just for today I will be unafraid, believing that as I trust in God with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding, He will lead me along a good path.

Living in recovery and following the Twelve Steps is a spiritual journey.

It’s easy for us to become discouraged and feel sorry for ourselves when life doesn’t go the way we think it should.
