Meditations on ""

Our choice when we feel down is either to believe and act on the promises God has made us, or to believe the lie the evil one is telling us.

God can heal every heart-wrenching wound left by someone who let us down.

How can we find the strength we need to feel joy and enthusiasm for this journey of growth again?

If we desire to be joyful in our recovery, we will need to be mindful of our thoughts and actions. We need to find out what God’s principles are for successful living and reshape our behaviour around them.

Irritability and anger are likely reflective of something going on deep inside us. We need to be willing to expose the underlying reason for our wounded heart.

We were born again from above into the family of God and given the will and desire to live a life of moral excellence.

The transition from living in self-will to living in God’s will is a real test of faith. We may ask ourselves, “is there truly joy in walking in the ways of God?”

When we have hurt someone, we need to take responsibility for the harm we have caused and do all in our power to make things right. This is what we call making restitution.

Life on God’s terms is the way of living we say we want when we come into recovery but we often stray from God’s way. To set things right, we start at the beginning and admit and repent of all our wrongdoing before God.

We will never feel acceptable to God or to others while we allow who we truly are to be determined by our past.

Everyday life in recovery will bring challenges where we need God’s guidance to live wisely.

At the time we are most weary, how comforting to hear the words of Jesus inviting us to come to Him and He will give us rest.
