Meditations on "Truth"

Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path .

When we turned our will and life over to the care of God, we started a life journey of living sober.

God made us for relationship with Him and with each other.

Moving forward in identifying character defects and allowing God to help us develop our true character is no easy process.

A sincere person is one who is honest, who doesn’t create false impressions, and who doesn’t operate with selfish motives.

Addicts tell lies. We tell ourselves we need our substance of choice to deal with the day.

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

Honesty, balance, and realism are essential tools to keep at hand as we sort out and rebuild relationships.

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 are experts at rationalizing – attempting to excuse, minimize, or justify our bad behaviour.

In the Bible we read many stories of how Jesus was sensitive to people and to what they were going through, and how He reached out to them with compassion.

In the Bible Jesus told a story about a father and two sons.
