Meditations on "Truth"

Just for today I will take note of one helpful thing God is saying to me and seek to behave accordingly.

Becoming strong and steady in our recovery requires that we keep on listening and learning from God's Word and from the experience, strength, and hope of others.

Steadily moving forward in recovery is not easy. As we awaken out of the haze of years in addiction our minds are often filled with memories of things done to us and things we have done to others.

To be suspicious can be good or bad depending on the circumstances.

When we struggle to do what is right it can be helpful to remember that God knows about the battle and provides a promise for success with a clear strategy for attaining it, “keep alert and pray”.

Feelings cannot always be trusted. They often point us to an incorrect perception of who we are, who God is, and what is happening in our circumstances.

When we begin a searching and fearless moral inventory, we often list the obvious things we know that are not in keeping with God's will.

When someone shares with us, we are not always the best judge of what confidences need to be held or which need to be disclosed.

Low self-esteem is a negative sense of one's worth or ability to cope or do well in life.

Wise people are willing to listen to sound advice and learn.

A healthy foundation for life with God in recovery includes seeking truth in all our affairs.

Blessed are those who live in your house. They are always praising you.
