Meditations on "Recovery"

Folklore advises, "Let your conscience be your guide.

God created us as moral beings. His word teaches us how to live in relationship with Him and with others.

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

Who can we trust? Who's reliable? Who tells the truth?

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, we can be assured that we are God’s children and that He will care for us.

Anyone who has lived in addiction knows that our entire life’s focus was on our next drink or fix.

God invites us to live in freedom. Freedom for us is so important to God that He was willing to give the life of His Son so that we could experience new life and peace.

We experience true freedom when we have a clean slate with God.

As we experience healing and transformation through daily living in the love and grace of God, we need to share our story – our experience, strength, and hope - with others.

There are many reactions to everyday stress. Some people try to flee the problem, in the hope that the irritation will go away.

When stressful situations come our way, and Jesus said they will, the best way forward is to make a conscious effort to turn to God and seek His help.
