Meditations on "Truth"

Being a phony is an intensely tiring way to live. Giving false impressions and lying to cover up attitudes or behaviours drains us of energy and joy.

An important part of recovery is coming to a truthful view of what happened in our relationships.

God knows we are unable to find our way forward on our own and that it is impossible for us to consistently behave in healthy ways, no matter how much we want to.

While living in addiction we were emotionally unavailable to God, to others, and to ourselves.

How many of us have fallen to places in life where we never thought we would find ourselves?

Christmas -- it really happened! God came to our planet.

In many places in the Bible we read that God’s love endures forever.

Our self-esteem is based on how we evaluate and see ourselves.

How many of us got ourselves into trouble by our lack of wisdom and understanding of life and where it would lead us if we pursued a rebellious course?

In the Bible we read of many festivals the people celebrate because God intervened on their behalf.

As kids many of us sang an action song with the words, “the head bone connected to the neck bone, the neck bone connected to the shoulder bone” and on and on down the bones to the toes.

E From time to time some of us get into a rut and struggle to see the purpose that God has for our lives.
