Meditations on ""

Confession of our sins gives us protection from the power and accusation of the evil one.

God wants to teach us not only to look out for our own interests, but also for the interests of others.

Each of us was created to do good work and giving an honest effort will bring us satisfaction. When we are too lazy to bother, our world becomes confusing, we feel less and less able to cope, and our ability to do so declines.

God designed us to be together with others in life as surely as the parts of our body work together for good health and getting things done.

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.
