Meditations on "Surrender"

I call to you Lord, come quickly to me; hear me when I call to you. May my prayer be set before you like incense. (Psalm 141:1-2a)

Be kind and merciful, and forgive others, just as God forgave you because of Christ. (Ephesians 4:32)

As we spend time with Jesus, the Prince of Peace, we acquire qualities that make us more like Him.

When we are “poor in spirit” we will humbly live in the grace and favour of God. 

There is hope for each of us to leave the past behind and move forward to become the person we were created to be.

God's word as recorded in the Bible is the standard against which all of us must measure our behaviour.

Neither could we reduce our self-centeredness much by wishing or trying on our own power.  We had to have God's help."  (Big Book pages 62-63)

Failure to reach out to God for help and guidance is the root cause of all our relationship problems.

Get down on your knees before the Master; it's the only way you'll get on your feet (James 4:10 MSG)

Only in Jesus can we truly be free from the powerful lies associated with obsessions, addictions, and dependencies, and only in the freedom that Jesus provides will our lives be happy, joyous, and free.

We are human beings confined within the slice of time we call today.

Some of the most welcome words in life and in recovery circles are: "One day at a time" or "Just for today."
