It does not take much time in recovery for us to realize how much better life can be than we ever thought possible. As healing takes place and God’s presence fills our hearts with peace and joy, we realize our life with God is very precious and better than anything we have ever experienced.
In addiction we lived uncaring self-centered lives and our hearts became callous and unfeeling. In recovery we are learning that security in life requires boundaries and limits to be established, particularly in the areas of our out-of-control desires and demands. Though we sometimes struggle with God’s way of disciplined choices and balanced living, we believe and are assured that as we continue to surrender to His ways, we will experience the overflowing goodness of God.
Today is another opportunity to think about the goodness of God in sending Jesus into the world to die for our sins so that we might have eternal life.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, You are a tender loving God who has demonstrated how much You care for Your people. Please strengthen my resolve to follow You in all my ways. Amen
