Meditations on "Surrender"

Being grateful for the people around us and the things we have is of great value in leading a contented life in recovery.

As we begin to follow God’s principles in all affairs, we may have questions about the future and how God is going to work everything together for our good and His glory.

For all of us there came a time when we could no longer avoid the realization that our lives were a mess.

Shout for joy to the Lord, everyone on earth. Worship the Lord with gladness.
