Meditations on ""

A saying we often hear is, “What goes around comes around.” God’s word brings a positive truth to this saying. His promise is that as we bless others we can expect God to bless us.

The beliefs we form need to be compared with what God says is right and good and not by what is acceptable in our culture.

In order to move from a lifestyle of surviving to one of thriving we must empty ourselves of all that keeps us from living totally dependent on God.

Practicing integrity and setting a good example are habits God says will not only help us but will also set an example for others to follow.

People who walk with God in recovery look to Him for wisdom, hope, and direction

No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others.

God created us to live for Him and has a specific plan for each of us. When our conscience is shaped by a wounded spirit, we will find we are constantly looking for affirmation and mechanically acting out of people pleasing motives, rather than behaving out of love that pleases God.

Only God has the power to help us sort out the issues underneath our anger.

Whatever the goal, the way to success is to plan how we will work to achieve it.

Our lives are unmanageable, our problems are too great, our issues are too confusing, and our emotional challenges are too overwhelming, unless God helps and defends us against our enemy.

Confession of our sins gives us protection from the power and accusation of the evil one.

God wants to teach us not only to look out for our own interests, but also for the interests of others.
