Meditations on "Wisdom"

Love is not boastful or proud Love is humble and selfless.

It may be time for each of us to consider what impact our words have on others.

Simon Peter answered, "Lord, there is no one else that we can go to! Your words give eternal life."

Are we engaging in an activity to improve our life and our relationships or are we simply trying to numb our feelings and let the world go by?

God has forgiven us for the wrongs we have done and now we need to ask forgiveness of those we have harmed and, if possible, work towards reconciliation.

Everyday life brings challenges where we need God’s guidance to live wisely. We need help to make big and small decisions. God offers to live within us and guide us on a safe path. 

We need to find the courage to change – the courage to see life, even our life, as God sees it.

Our life with God in recovery should be one of continual learning and growing.   When our actions or attitudes conflict with God’s principles we need to realign our ways with what God’s Word says, and we need to do it sooner rather than later. 

God has given gifts to everyone; no one has been left out.  The first step in developing confidence in using our gifts is to acknowledge that God is our creator and each one of us is individually gifted with the qualities God desires us to use.

Wise people are willling to listen to sound advice and learn. We can learn from their experience, strength, and hope because they have gained wisdom by listening to others and by following the principles for a successful life as recorded in the Bible.

When we were powerless over our addiction how many times did people try to help us see the truth about our problem?

People with discernment normally do the right thing in any situation that arises.
