Meditations on "Recovery"

Many people like to read historical writings about people or events that happened in the past but how many books have we read which contain history plus predicted future events that did not happen for hundreds of years?

To be flexible means that we are adaptable and willing to yield when circumstances require short or long-term change.

Some of the most welcome words in life and certainly in recovery circles are, "One day at a time" or "Just for today.

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.
