Meditations on "Truth"

When we are in a place of despair, we often cry out to God for help but wonder if He is really listening.

Sometimes we choose not to bless someone because we judge them as unworthy.

An important character strength to develop is tolerance – being patient, understanding, and accepting of something different.

Many of us lost our true identity because we grew up in dysfunctional families and were forced to assume survival roles.

One of our natural responses to pressure and challenge is to indulge in self-pity.

Often the root of our problems is what we choose to believe.

God made us for relationship with Him and with each other.

For all of us there came a time when we could no longer avoid the realization that our lives were a mess.

Addicts tell lies. We tell ourselves we need our substance of choice in order to deal with the day.

Shout for joy to the Lord, everyone on earth. Worship the Lord with gladness.

We are strengthened to stay free of our addictions because God is guiding us and supporting us each step of the way.

We feel guilty for all sorts of reasons. When we were running wild in our addiction, we were not even aware of the harm we were causing.
