Meditations on "Relationship"

Anger in our society is rampant. Most of us have a hard time dealing with anger.

When we tell someone how much we appreciate who they are or what they have done, we are lifting them up and valuing their service.

God invites us to a life of gentleness where we honour speaking the truth in love and respect the dignity of everyone, including ourselves.

We will experience freedom and fulfillment in life only when God’s desires become our desires, God’s way becomes our way, and God’s word becomes our action plan.

We don’t need to be told that emotional trauma is painful.

When we come into recovery one of our priorities must be sorting life according to what is true.

Physical or emotional abuse often exists in relationships where one or both parties are in some form of addiction.

“I am a walking miracle” is a slogan we often hear said in recovery meetings.

Broken relationships are a significant issue in most relapses back into active addiction.

To be suspicious can be good or bad depending on the circumstances.

God designed humans with a natural desire to pursue pleasure.

Feelings cannot always be trusted. They often point us to an incorrect perception of who we are, who God is, and what is happening in our circumstances.
