Meditations on "Recovery"

When we think that we are so great that we can do recovery alone we need to share our thoughts with a trusted friend or mentor.

Surrendering our minds to the Lordship of Jesus Christ brings peace to our whole being.

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the Lord your God will give you.

Life in addiction is an expression of the breakdown of honour and respect in relationships that God created us to experience and enjoy.

What does speaking honourably have to do with recovery?

Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.

There is a life in the shadows that is negative and promotes “shady living”.

They stumble because they do not obey God’s word, and so they meet the fate that was planned for them.

Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you.

Many people are negatively impacted by accusation and condemnation.

Life with God in recovery means that we bring all of our situations before God, particularly when we feel like running away.
