Meditations on "Amends"

Each day in recovery is a new opportunity to respond to God's call to live in humility, desire reconciliation in relationships, walk in forgiveness and focus on cleaning my side of the street.

We have all been hurt and let down by others. It's simply part of being around humans.

How are we to deal with a person who falsely accuses us of something we did not do?

We feel hurt when another’s unkind words or actions cause our self-worth to be devalued.

Our life with God in recovery should be one of continual learning and growing.

Making amends is a responsibility we must take seriously if we want to protect our sobriety.

An important part of recovery is coming to an accurate view of what went wrong in our relationships.

Just for today I will try to live in conscious contact with God praying only for knowledge of His will and the power to carry it out.

A healthy foundation for life with God in recovery includes seeking truth in all our affairs.

Jesus told the story of two men who went to church to pray.

When we turn our will and our life over to God’s care and trust in the new life Jesus gives us, does that mean we should never reflect on guilty feelings again?

Just for today I will be agreeable. I will not criticize, not find fault, and not try to improve or control anybody except myself.
