Meditations on "Truth"

When we give our will and life over to the care of God, we receive the new birth Jesus spoke of.

When Jesus was here on earth, He often went off on His own to pray.

It's summertime – time for rest and recreation and hopefully some quality time with friends and/or family.

In certain situations, when our behaviour is challenged, we are quick to try and justify ourselves.

We realized that our life was unmanageable, and we got to where we are at by our own irrational thinking and flawed solutions to life situations.

Good eyesight is a great gift. With our eyes we see and admire the beauty that God has put in our natural environment.

Who wants trouble? None of us do and if we listen to God’s counsel there is a lot of trouble that we can avoid.

All of us like to be appreciated when we feel we have acted wisely or done a good job.

When a building is at the planning stage, blueprints need to be drawn up and submitted to the local district council for approval permits.

Early, if not the first on the list of qualities we need to build in our new life with God in recovery, is optimism grounded in faith – faith that trusts in God, learns from God, and builds on the promises that God gives in the Bible.

God is always with me. I need never face my problems alone.

Just for today I will be agreeable. I will not criticize, not find fault, and not try to improve or control anybody except myself.
