Meditations on "Relationship"

It's time to stop pretending.  We need to say what we mean and mean what we say.

Our sponsor or a trusted friend may have spoken to us about how we were getting off track, but we refused to listen ... and found ourselves moving towards relapse.

We need to look for good in a person rather than being suspicious of evil intention.

If we choose to remain filled with bitterness, we bind ourselves to our past.

We were born again from above into the family of God and given the will and desire to live a life of moral excellence

What are we going to do with the gift of today that God has given us?

We are to be those with stories of hope and comfort.

Clearly God knows that we need one another to successfully get ahead.

It’s not our job to “fix anyone” but it is our God given responsibility to look with eyes of compassion and offer to lend a hand to those around us.

Will we, like Thomas, come to realize that something incredible takes place when we ask Jesus to show us who He truly is?

Growth in recovery and security come as we begin to believe that God will hold us steady while life shifts and turns around us. 

God will act on our behalf when we welcome His intervention.
