Meditations on "Truth"

As God draws us into a deeper relationship with Himself, the devil and his forces of darkness try to make us doubt Him.

Why do we continue to do things our own way when it obviously isn’t working?

Over the long haul, how do we prevent relapse into addictive behaviour and maintain our choice to live in the love and grace of God?

It's summertime – time for rest and recreation and hopefully some quality time with friends and/or family.

We all long to be genuine and sincere in our relationship with God, others, and ourselves, and yet we often find ourselves being fake and insincere.

We got to where we are today by our own irrational thinking and flawed solutions.

In certain situations, when our behaviour is challenged, we are quick to try to justify ourselves.

Early, if not first, on the list of qualities we need to build in our new life with God in recovery is optimism grounded in faith – faith that trusts in God, learns from God, and builds on the promises that God gives in the Bible.

God is always with me. I need never face my problems alone.

Just for today I will be agreeable. I will not criticize, not find fault, and not try to improve or control anybody except myself.

How are we to deal with a person who falsely accuses us of something we did not do?

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.
