Meditations on "Truth"

While we were living in addiction our daily agenda was completely centered on meeting our own needs.

At various times in our recovery journey we are asked to take personal inventory.

“We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

A healthy foundation for life with God in recovery includes seeking truth in all our affairs.

Jesus told the story of two men who went to church to pray.

At some point in our lives we became aware that we were powerless over our dependencies and that our lives had become unmanageable.

Contentment in life does not come from trying to control someone so they will meet our needs, or by trying to please someone so they will like us and make us feel secure.

To experience success in our life with God in recovery we must make a commitment to be thorough in our search for truth and how we apply this learned truth in our thoughts and behaviours.

Many of us face a new year wondering about the unknown.

As we consider our future, we need to take time to reflect on where we have been and where we want to go from here.

The coming of Jesus to our world to reconcile us to our Heavenly Father is a powerful witness to the truth that our seemingly ordinary lives matter to God.

Christmas lights brighten the dark evenings of December and are a reminder to us that no matter how dark this season may be, the coming of Jesus into the world brought light and hope and joy.
