Meditations on "Repentance"

What an amazing God we serve who sees us in our brokenness and is ready and willing to help us if we will just turn to him, repent of our wrongs, and sincerely give Him control of our lives.

Whether a breakdown happened an hour ago or a decade ago, God is with us to help us work for reconciliation.

Character defects will be removed as we become willing to follow God’s principles instead of choosing our own way.

The courage to change that Jesus offers us is the willingness to let go of those things that have kept us in bondage to hopelessness and instead begin to believe in His availability and willingness to heal us.

We may not know how to overcome all that is wrong, but today we can choose for a new way of living.

If we do the right thing, we will not only find the life we long for but will be a positive influence on others as well.

Only obedience to the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit can keep us from returning to familiar patterns.

The building block for living well in recovery with God is changing our mind about who is responsible for our brokenness and how we got to where we are.
