Meditations on ""

Outside of God, we can’t even maintain the desire to do what is right let alone find the strength to act on what we know we ought to do.

Recovery begins when we admit that the power behind our addiction is beyond our control.

Making amends is a test of our integrity to honour others above ourselves.

Will we, like Thomas, realize that something incredible happens when we ask Jesus to show us who He truly is?

What seems impossible for us to believe is only impossible when God is not involved

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

We often give up on God before His plan for us, in His perfect timing, takes effect. Jesus’ death on Good Friday came before His resurrection on Easter Sunday. Things looked hopeless for Jesus’ followers during the time between those two events, but God was still in charge.

We may not know how to overcome all that is wrong, but today we can choose for a new way of living.

Few people are more aware of their need for God’s help to restore them to sanity than recovering addicts. What a relief it was to turn to God who was ready, willing, and able to receive and restore us.

God invites us to a gentle and humble way of life that gives us peace and fills us with joy.

If we ground ourselves in God’s will, He will take care of the rest.

Do we praise God for those things that have taken place, and are we able to see and believe for those things God has promised that are yet to come?
