Meditations on "Recovery"

Each Sunday we usually reflect on a Psalm, which is a poem from God's word.

God made our bodies to be a home for His Spirit. It goes against the “wisdom of the world” to acknowledge the truth that our bodies are not our own but belong to God.

Most of the time we estimate what we and others can or cannot do based on what we know and have seen.

What are some of the “issues” we should reflect on as we gauge our moving from a self-centered life to one of a loving relationship with God and our neighbour?

What tools am I using to help me assess, reflect, learn, and grow in my recovery?

Suppose we looked in a mirror and found we had something smeared around our mouth.

Taking a regular inventory helps us maintain a balanced view of our progress.

O Lord, I have come to you for protection; don’t let me be disgraced.

Jesus said that we are to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and love our neighbour as ourselves.

How are we expected to know what is right? How do we know what is wrong?

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.

Peace and contentment are treasures to be chosen and gifts to be received.
