Meditations on "Surrender"

Our experience of love and satisfaction in life is tied directly to being obedient to God’s will and God’s way.

What does Jesus death have to do with me? Well, maybe nothing and maybe everything -- the choice is ours.

What makes us vulnerable to temptation? We come into recovery and we work hard to understand what went wrong.

Anyone who has tried to break free from the harmful use of a substance or an addictive habit does not need a dictionary to help them understand temptation.

Peace and serenity are gifts to be received. They are treasures to be chosen.

God's word comforts me when I can't find peace on my own.

Life in addiction breaks us down to the point where we feel helpless and hopeless.

Many of us have made a move towards God in recovery only to struggle and relapse.

The longer we struggle in addiction and the more often we relapse, the less likely we will believe that there is hope for us to get free from the bondage of addiction and have a purposeful life.

No matter how strong we may feel, it’s not enough to bring us through to sustained recovery.

For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching.
