Meditations on "Recovery"

Often in recovery we are not sure where the future is going to take us, and it makes us fearful.

To be reconciled with someone who has wronged us is difficult.

Four friends loved a paralyzed man and wanted him to be healed.

Many of us, especially early in recovery, find it difficult to control impulsive behaviour.

When we repented of our sin and believed in the death and resurrection of Jesus to set us free from the power of sin, we were reconciled to our Heavenly Father.

There is a saying that “money makes the world go around.

Living a life of goodness, peace, and joy reflects the Kingdom of God within us.

We are spiritual beings who have a soul and live in a body.

When we give our will and life over to the care of God we come out of darkness into His light.

Turning our will and life over to the care of God as we understand Him is just the beginning of our new life with God in recovery.

Jesus was often challenged by the self-righteous actions of some of the religious leaders who saw themselves as guardians of God’s law.

Being grateful for the people around us and the things we have, is of great value in leading a contented life in recovery.
