Meditations on "Recovery"

Feelings cannot always be trusted. They often point us to an incorrect perception of who we are, who God is, and what is happening in our circumstances.

We may not see what goes on inside us, but the Bible tells us there is a battle going on for control of our minds.

Even though we usually associate individuals living in addiction as “party people” the truth is that using substances generally takes away one’s ability to relate to other people, to form friendships, and to do meaningful things with them.

When we are trying to do what is right and live according to God’s principles, we will often hear comments from others who remind us of our past and the things we did.

The Bible is a wonderful source of support for us and tells us of many situations where Jesus showed compassion to those He encountered.
