Meditations on "Recovery"

Jesus encountered a man who had been sick a long time.

A victim is a person who has been abused, hurt, or oppressed, and is without the needed knowledge or power to change their circumstances.

God is faithful to us. God has also given us many practical commands for faithfulness in our service to others including our spouse, our friends, and those who are suffering.

Jesus gave us very clear instructions about loving our enemies and doing good to those who despitefully use us.

Sometimes we feel unwanted, unloved or uncared for.

Three of the most comforting, encouraging, and life-giving words in the English language are, "I love you".

When some of us first came into recovery, we were so thankful to get away from the chaos of our addictive lifestyle that we were ready to do whatever it took to be free from the person we had become.

For decades, people used an inventory called, "The Seven Deadly Sins" to help them recognize ways that were not in keeping with God’s laws.

God created humans to live forever in loving relationship with Him.

How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

What does speaking honourably have to do with recovery?

In our new life with God in recovery, can people depend on us when we give them our word or do they need a court order to enforce what we already said we would do?
