Meditations on "Truth"

Steps 1, 2, and 3 of the 12-Step program help us develop faith in Jesus Christ, a power greater than ourselves who can restore us to sanity.

A saying we often hear is, “What goes around comes around.

As we seek to restore a clear conscience before God we need to examine the truthfulness of our society’s values.

There will always be things that are right and good in our lives, and other things that are yet to be sorted out.

Those of us who live for the approval of others are not led but driven.

Step 5 of the 12-Step program of A.A. asks that we admit to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

For some of us being alone and in control of our own life makes us feel safe.

Recovery is hard work. Sometimes we feel joy in the journey and other times we don’t seem to feel anything at all.

When we have hurt someone, we need to take responsibility for the harm we have caused and do all in our power to make things right.

Life on God’s terms is the way of living we say we want when we come into recovery.

Some sentences in the Bible are so meaningful to our situation that we just want to read them over and over again.

God says we are precious in His sight. God, through Jesus, has provided a way for us to leave shame behind and live in honour and dignity, regardless of what has happened in our past.
