LIVING FOR GOD

Living Life Recovery Reflection 227

Romans 14:7 We don’t live for ourselves alone. And we don’t die all by ourselves.

 The most important relationship in our recovery is our relationship with God. Everything we are going through is to bring us to the point of service to Him and others.

 

He rescued me from a fate worse than death. He helped me to clean up my life and He continues to help me to continue moving forward in spiritual recovery day by day. Everything I think, say and do is seen by Him and I try to live my life at all times in a manner that brings glory to Him.

 

None of us arrived in recovery because we wanted to. We arrived in recovery because God lead us here. Every day we need to remember that and do our best to live our lives in ways that won’t embarrass or offend Him.

  • What are you still doing in your life that would embarrass or offend God?

 

Prayer: Lord help me today not to offend or embarrass You.

WRITE A LETTER

Some relationships can never be repaired. People may have passed away. They may have moved away and you have lost touch with them.

As I said previously the most devastating thing that ever happened to me in my life was not attending my Dad’s funeral. The second was not taking the time to get to know him again when I had the opportunity. There are a number of gaps in my life, things I can’t remember that my Dad could have filled no one else can.

Part of the healing process in my recovery journey was writing a long letter to my Dad telling him what I should have told him and asking him the questions I should have asked him.

  • Who on your list can’t you contact writing a letter to will help?

 

Prayer: God reveal to me the people writing a letter to will help me heal. Let me not use this as an excuse to avoid.

Devote Yourself to Prayer

Step 11 Through prayer, we acknowledge our need for God and are reminded of the importance of a relationship with Him. Prayer needs to become a regular part of our recovery process in which we remember to thank God for all He has done for us.
