Meditations on "Trust"

Jesus’ advice to us when we feel disgust rising in us is to find a way to love.

God knows our past, our present, and our future, and will work everything together for our good because of His great love for us.

Reprogramming our minds may be challenging at first because some of our thinking is hidden in the comfort of the half-truths that we believe.

Practicing integrity and setting a good example are habits God says will not only help us but will also set an example for others to follow.

God designed us to be together with others in life as surely as the parts of our body work together for good health and getting things done.

We will never feel acceptable to God or to others while we allow who we truly are to be determined by our past.

We need to discipline ourselves to rejoice in the encouragement that God’s word brings and embrace the unfailing love of God.

When sheep are under the care of the Good Shepherd they can lie down and know they are safe in His care.

When we come to God in recovery, we must humbly acknowledge that we do not know how to live well in relationship with others.

Alone we could never accomplish what is possible when we work together in love and build each other up.

We’re not stupid because of something we don’t know, we’re simply humans in need of teaching and encouragement.

We can dare to be optimistic about life and our recovery because God’s unconditional love will strengthen and build us up
