Partners in Hope

Through Jesus, we are invited to a relationship with God. As we respond to God’s unfailing love and care for us, we will find friendship, peace, and security. That security will help us grow strong and enable us to be a loving and caring friend to others.

Denial is described as a refusal to admit the truth or reality of a situation. Denial of our dependency on a substance and/or a person, is the first obstacle we must overcome in recovery.

Being a “dry drunk” is a term used to describe a person whose actions and attitude are pretty much the same as when they were drinking. Jesus wants to heal us and set us free from living as a dry drunk.

In the past, many of us have identified ourselves by the names people called us or by the labels they put on us.  God has good news for us today as we seek to live well and enjoy this day with Him and others. The foundation of who we truly are, and living well out of that secure place in our hearts is based on what God says about us

So today we pray to receive that love and for willingness to pass it on to others in need.  We pray for those who irritate us, those who have harmed us, those who just seem to wallow in darkness.  We pray that the amazing power of God's love will speak and act, even through us, no matter who or what we face today

Many of us have never been disciplined in the art of following through on the commitments we make. We start something and then get tired when it takes more effort than we are willing to give.  God is committed to us and to our growth and will help us today to learn this art of following through on our commitments
