Meditations on "Recovery"

Audio for WHICH MASK DO I CHOOSE? As we noted yesterday, many of us don’t just wear a mask at Hallowe’en.

Audio for HIDING BEHIND A MASK Tomorrow night many children put on costumes and go door-to-door “trick-or-treating.

Audio for WISDOM IN THE STORM If we follow God’s plan on our journey of life in recovery, we need not be fearful when we encounter the storms of life.

God knows that it is easy for us to let fear take control of our lives.

Light and darkness just don’t mix. A safe and stable life in recovery requires us to leave behind shady living and enter fully into the life of goodness which God desires for us.

The choices we make today matter to God. God created men and women in His own image and brought them together in a loving relationship with Himself and with each other.

God is willing to support and strengthen us as we lay down our own self-directed ways and invite Him to lead us along the path He has chosen for us.

God’s great love for women and men sent Jesus to the world to pay the price for our freedom from sin.

Today we are continuing to look at the excuses and reasons we give for making poor choices and our tendency to want to justify our actions.

Rationalizing endorses the internal belief that we are victims of circumstances beyond our control.

Many of us come to recovery and seek help when the suffering in our life in addiction is too much to bear.

God made our bodies to be a home for His Holy Spirit.
