Meditations on "Wisdom"

Happy New Year! Really? Some of us may have woken up this morning to the fact that our lives are unmanageable and that we are powerless over our addictive behaviour.

The presents have been opened. Most of the turkey has been eaten.

In this season of the year, we prepare our hearts for the annual celebration of Christ’s birth.

God has a good, pleasing and perfect plan for our life.

God made our bodies to be a home for His Spirit. It goes against the “wisdom of the world” to acknowledge the truth that our bodies are not our own but belong to God.

Suppose we looked in a mirror and found we had something smeared around our mouth.

How are we expected to know what is right? How do we know what is wrong?

God blesses those who work for peace. In recovery we have the responsibility to live in ways that honour and support truth that leads to peace.

An important part of living with God in recovery is coming to an accurate view of what went wrong in our relationships and doing our part to make things right.

Audio for ACCEPTED IN THE BELOVED (1) Each of us will experience some degree of rejection in our lives.

Our well-being in recovery often appears to us to be dependent on us resolving a problem that is totally outside of our control.

In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O Lord, make me to dwell in safety.
