Meditations on "Truth"

We have all done things we are not proud of. Some of us think we’ve done more harm than others, done worse things than them, or continued for longer than they did.

Once we have cleaned up our lives from all past involvement in destructive and addictive practices we are home free for a life of joy and peace and blessing, right?

ife with God in recovery is structured around telling the truth in all circumstances.

How many of us are confident in our decision making?

Our old ways of thinking and behaving are being transformed as we journey with God in our new life in recovery.

As we work our program we find that life changes. Nothing happens in an instant but when we reflect on a month, or 90 days, or a year or more, and compare the person we once were with the person we are now, the transformation is striking.

No one likes trouble. We all want trouble to go away as quickly as possible.

In our life in recovery daily circumstances may often feel overwhelming and confusing.

At 2 a.m. today in North America we changed from daylight saving time back to standard time.

It’s time to confess the error of our ways when we choose to deal with life situations in the isolation of our own minds and hearts.

When we come to Step 4 in the 12-Step program we are asked to focus on ourselves and make a searching and fearless moral inventory.

God is willing to support and strengthen us as we lay down our self-directed ways and invite Him to lead us along the path He has chosen for us.
