Meditations on "Humility"

Everyday life brings challenges where we need God’s guidance to live wisely. We need help to make big and small decisions. God offers to live within us and guide us on a safe path. 

Our life with God in recovery should be one of continual learning and growing.   When our actions or attitudes conflict with God’s principles we need to realign our ways with what God’s Word says, and we need to do it sooner rather than later. 

God has given gifts to everyone; no one has been left out.  The first step in developing confidence in using our gifts is to acknowledge that God is our creator and each one of us is individually gifted with the qualities God desires us to use.

Telling the truth presents many challenges for individuals seeking new life in recovery.

Au P AuddEACEFUL RELATIONSHIPS THROUGH HUMILITY If we want to experience healthy and joyful relationships with God and with others each day of our lives, we will have to be willing to change our former ways.

When we begin to reflect on our destructive and addictive lifestyle, we recognize the dumb choices we have chosen to make.

Happy New Year! This is the first day of the year 2025 and if we want to make a fresh start to the year we can choose to repent of our past sins and give our will and life over to the care of God, or we can just live in the “same old, same old”.

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

A humble life is grounded in a realistic view of ourselves.

An important character strength to develop is tolerance, which is being patient, understanding, and accepting of something different from what we are familiar with.

Many of us lost our true identity because we grew up in dysfunctional families and were forced to assume survival roles.

Our pride often keeps us from asking for what we need.
