Meditations on "Recovery"

A healthy foundation for life with God in recovery includes seeking truth in all our affairs.

To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God.

Jesus told the story of two men who went to church to pray.

From the chaos of our dysfunctional lives many of us called out to God with words like, “God if you are really there, please help me”.

Someone has rightly said, "If you are not part of the solution then you are part of the problem.

At some point in our lives we became aware that we were powerless over our dependencies and that our lives had become unmanageable.

How many times in a day do we struggle with the character defect of impatience?

When we turn our will and our life over to God’s care and trust in the new life Jesus gives us, does that mean we should never reflect on guilty feelings again?

Peace and serenity are gifts to be received. They are treasures to be chosen.

Contentment in life does not come from trying to control someone so they will meet our needs, or by trying to please someone so they will like us and make us feel secure.

When problems arise it's easy to forget that God cares.

To experience success in our life with God in recovery we must make a commitment to be thorough in our search for truth and how we apply this learned truth in our thoughts and behaviours.
