Meditations on "Surrender"

God has forgiven us for the wrongs we have done and now we need to ask forgiveness of those we have harmed and, if possible, work towards reconciliation.

An essential part of our life with God in recovery is recognizing what is harmful and decaying and what is healthy and returning to life after a time of dormancy.

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.

My life is of great beauty and infinite value. Do I really believe this? What does God have to say about it all on my good days and bad days?

People with discernment normally do the right thing in any situation that arises.

In some places today it is a public holiday given to celebrating families.

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.

Life has its ups and downs and does not always treat us fairly.

God created us to live in loving relationship with Him.

Peace and serenity are gifts to be received. They are treasures to be chosen.

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

To enjoy a healthy and satisfying life in recovery we need to recognize our need for growth in areas of our character which have been compromised.
