Meditations on "Surrender"

God is aware of every difficult moment we have experienced and the pain we have endured for every wrong done to us, or by us.

In the Big Book of AA, we are advised to use discretion in knowing how much time and attention to give to any one situation in relation to others who might benefit in their desire to recover if given some time and support.

All of humankind’s sin – from the beginning of time to the end of time – was laid on Jesus and not even the weight of that could hold him down.

We often give up on God before His plan, in His perfect timing, takes effect.

Of all the four seasons of the year, spring seems to describe our new life in recovery the best.

We usually say an individual is “white knuckling” when they are just using willpower to stay sober.

Jesus came to earth when the nation of Israel was ruled by Rome.

We lost our way. That's an obvious fact. We fell into addictive and destructive lifestyles.

We came into recovery because we knew life wasn’t working.

In some places today is a public holiday given to celebrating family.

Every week, or every other week, people put out trash cans and recycling bins so they are ready for the scheduled collections in their community.

Moving forward in identifying character defects and allowing God to help us develop our true character is no easy process.
