Meditations on "Surrender"

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.

Some people who have no relationship with God will still pray when they are in trouble or when they really need help in a time of great distress.

…The Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child!

To enjoy a healthy and satisfying life in recovery we need to recognize our need for growth in areas of our character which have been compromised.
