Meditations on ""

It’s time to give up the tunnel vision of first looking to our own interests and, only when it is convenient, looking to the interests of others. Most important, it is time to give our energy and attention to God’s interests, because we will then experience the blessing of right relationship with Him and with others.

We have a Power greater than ourselves working in us to help us avoid making the mistakes our old nature is demanding.

Accountability means we have agreed to certain rules of conduct and are making every effort to live by these rules.

We should not be discouraged when we feel the need for approval, instead we should look to the One who sees all things and tell Him what is going on within us. God will comfort and strengthen us in our time of need, and we will grow stronger in the knowledge of His ways if we do not give up.

Allowing ourselves to grieve over the events we have participated in, is part of the healing process.

God’s ways are different from our former ways and from the ways of society in general, but with patient endurance and the Power that is greater that ourselves to help us, we can learn to live in ways that please God.

We can dare to forgive others because we know we’ve been forgiven and accepted by God.

God is a God of order; He is not a God of confusion. Surrendering our minds to Him brings peace to our whole being.

God’s will and God’s ways work every time and will bring us peace and stability.

Regularly taking personal inventory helps us maintain our recovery and enjoy each day without the burden of yesterday’s issues being carried forward

It’s unrealistic to think we won’t feel vulnerable as we seek to maintain our sobriety and repair our relationships.

God has solutions for all the problems we face whether it’s problems brought on by our own actions or the actions of others.
