Meditations on "Relationship"

Your kingdom will never end, and you will rule forever.

When many of us waken up from the haze of our addiction and reflect on the harm we have caused in our relationships, or when we begin to make an inventory of our character defects, a well of deep sorrow may overwhelm us.

Requesting that God remove all our defects of character is asking Him to rid us of everything within that hinders our ability to live life to the full.

Members of Alcoholics Anonymous are encouraged to regularly read "The Big Book" which gives a helpful foundation for living sober.

When you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.

For many of us infidelity in a relationship has harmed us.

Unresolved grudges from offences committed against us in childhood, usually show up in adulthood as deeply rooted bitterness.

Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. Ask God to bless the people who ask for bad things to happen to you.

Often the root of our problems is what we choose to believe.

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

Too often dealing with denial is incorrectly focused on the circumstances surrounding the use of our substance of choice or other destructive habits for which we are now seeking treatment and God’s help to overcome.

God made us for relationship with Him and with each other.
