Meditations on ""

The contrast of destructive self-centeredness in active addiction versus the healthy lifestyle of supporting one another in recovery is clearly expressed in Promise 7 of A.A:- We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows. Learning and growing in our recovery and sharing our experience, strength, and hope with others, are ways we fulfill this principle

“Street smarts” took us to a dead-end on the road of life. Applying God’s wisdom will bring us to a full and satisfying life.

God, who has begun a good work in us, will see it through until Jesus comes again.

While some may think that expressing anger is a sign of strength, it is actually allowing our weakness to show. For us to get well we need to learn new ways to handle stress or fearful circumstances.

We experience true freedom when we have a clean slate before God.

We need to deal with our feelings about a person in a "let go and let God" way.

This all-powerful God is our Heavenly Father who takes great delight in us, His precious children.

True friends watch out for each other, share with each other, and even make sacrifices for each other.

As long as we are living and breathing there is still hope because God continues to invite us to a new life with Him.

Avoiding reality will hinder us from having the meaningful, purposeful life that we desire.

God’s Spirit makes us loving, happy, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle, and self-controlled. Galatians 5:22-23a CEV

The new life in recovery to which God invites us, is one of gentleness and speaking the truth in love to those around us.
