To live right we need to make every effort to have the same attitude as Jesus. That means we find and live a lifestyle of loving God and loving our neighbour as ourselves.

Transition is difficult for us when we first come into recovery. It requires that we leave behind a known way of life and transition to a new way of living. What has been known to us in the past is comfortable, even though it may not have been good for us and most certainly was not the best way for us. Growth requires change.

Making amends is a responsibility we must take very seriously if we want to protect our sobriety. When we make amends under the guidance of our loving God, everyone is blessed.

When problems arise it is easy to forget that God cares.  We often feel alone and vulnerable.  Daily life continues regardless of the heartache we are experiencing and somehow we must cope.  We feel like orphans with no one to care for us.  We forget God’s promise to help us and often believe He has abandoned us.  However, God does not forget His beloved.  We just need to call on Him and He will answer us.

We experience true freedom when we have a clean slate with God.  When we humbly admit our faults and sins to God, with a sincere desire to be changed, God is faithful to forgive us.

In an unsteady world in uncertain times, how good it is to know that God, the truly faithful one, makes promises to us and we can rest assured that they will be fulfilled through all generations.
