Meditations on "Truth"

This new life we have been given begins each new day.

The Big Book of AA describes the significance of our problem with self-centeredness in this way: "There often seems no way of entirely getting rid of self without His [God's] aid.

God has given gifts to everyone; no one has been left out.

We often feel awkward about bringing our recurring sins before God.

In our addictive lifestyle we made poor choices and walked paths that caused harm to ourselves and to others.

We experience true freedom when we have a clean slate before God.

“Principles before personalities” is one of those sayings we hear at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

We hang around with all sorts of people in a variety of situations.

To cope with living an addictive lifestyle we often repressed our moral thinking and denied the downward trend we were on.

The new birth we receive when we give our will and life over to the care of God is the end of our old life that was dominated by sinful thoughts which were formed in an unspiritual mind.

Our formerly destructive lifestyle was harsh and filled with many problems.

Just for today I will strengthen my mind. I will take a few minutes to read and meditate on God’s word, seeking God’s perspective for my life today.
