Meditations on "Truth"

Many of us face a new year wondering about the unknown.

As we consider our future, we need to take time to reflect on where we have been and where we want to go from here.

The coming of Jesus to our world to reconcile us to our Heavenly Father is a powerful witness to the truth that our seemingly ordinary lives matter to God.

Christmas lights brighten the dark evenings of December and are a reminder to us that no matter how dark this season may be, the coming of Jesus into the world brought light and hope and joy.

The Christmas story reminds us that we don't have to clean up our lives before we make room for Jesus to enter our hearts.

Gossip shows up in our lives in many forms. God hates them all because He knows how harmful destructive words are to our dignity and our relationships.

We all know that staying sober starts with not picking up a drink or our drug of choice or returning to whatever our destructive habit was.

Our weaknesses are no surprise to God. God strengthens us in areas where we have grown and encourages us in the areas where we still need to grow.

Coming into a recovery group setting is threatening for many of us.

As we prepare our hearts for the celebration of Christ’s birth, some of us may have negative memories and regrets about past Christmases.

The hustle and bustle of shopping and Christmas events is in full swing.

One day when Jesus was at a dinner party given by a religious leader an uninvited woman with a bad reputation in the community entered the room.
