Meditations on "Truth"

Denial is described as a refusal to admit the truth or reality of a situation.

In Proverbs, one of the books in the Bible, wisdom is described in the words of a person speaking.

When we live in depression our number-one enemy is our emotions.

Dishonesty is a tool we use to protect ourselves from shame, guilt, or embarrassment.

We cannot control all our circumstances, but we don't need to let a difficult situation negatively impact our day.

Some significant events in our life have destroyed our sense of value and punctured holes in our self-esteem.

What do we mean when we say that we are trusting in the Lord?

When we begin the recovery process we are often overwhelmed by the guilt and shame of the mess we have made of our lives.

In sobriety, we begin to be aware of how much spiritual poison we have allowed to build up in our hearts and minds.

So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.

We all know that children need to be disciplined by wise guidance they receive from caring parents.

Life with God in recovery includes recognizing where shame is active in us and inviting God to heal the wounds that have caused us embarrassment and humiliation.
