The Word For Recovery

I’m so grateful to Christ Jesus for making me adequate to do this work. He went out on a limb, you know, in trusting me with this ministry. The only credentials I brought to it were invective and witch hunts and arrogance. But I was treated mercifully because I didn’t know what I was doing–didn’t know Who I was doing it against! Grace mixed with faith and love poured over me and into me. And all because of Jesus. Here’s a word you can take to heart and depend on: Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. I’m proof–Public Sinner Number One– of someone who could never have made it apart from sheer mercy. And now he shows me off–evidence of his endless patience–to those who are right on the edge of trusting him forever. 1 Timothy 1:12-16 

4o Days of Recovery ~ Day 32

God measures our service, not by our ability, but by our willingness

 

 

 

STEP THREE I am making a decision to let God help me change and commit to working with Him to do so.

Our goal is not recovery: It is spiritual and emotional maturity demonstrated through service. The key to service is willingness. Jesus set the example of service we need to aim for. His whole purpose of coming to earth was to serve, not to be served.

Service is the best way to become like Jesus. Now that we’re no longer shackled to that domineering mate of sin, and out from under all those oppressive regulations and fine print, we’re free to live a new life in the freedom of God.
Romans 7:6

Opportunities to serve others are given to us each by God through the Holy Spirit. This is my life work: helping people understand and respond to this Message. It came as a sheer gift to me, a real surprise, God handling all the details. Ephesians 3:7

Serving others turns the world’s values upside down. Jesus got them together to settle things down. He said, “You’ve observed how godless rulers throw their weight around, how quickly a little power goes to their heads. It’s not going to be that way with you. Whoever wants to be great must become a servant.” Matthew 20:25-26

I don’t think the way you think. The way you work isn’t the way I work.” God’s Decree. “For as the sky soars high above the earth, so the way I work surpasses the way you work, and the way I think is beyond the way you think. Just as rain and snow descend from the skies and don’t go back until they’ve watered the earth, Doing their work of making things grow and blossom, producing seed for farmers and food for the hungry, So will the words that come out of my mouth not come back empty-handed. They’ll do the work I sent them to do, they’ll complete the assignment I gave them. Isaiah 55:11

Share the Vision

The Spirit of the Lord and King is on me. The Lord has anointed me to tell the good news to poor people. He has sent me to comfort those whose hearts have been broken. He has sent me to announce freedom for those who have been captured. He wants me to set prisoners free from their dark prisons. He has sent me to announce the year when he will set his people free. He wants me to announce the day when he will pay his enemies back. Our God has sent me to comfort all those who are sad. He wants me to help those in Zion who are filled with sorrow. I will put beautiful crowns on their heads in place of ashes. I will anoint them with oil to give them gladness instead of sorrow. I will give them a spirit of praise in place of a spirit of sadness. They will be like oak trees that are strong and straight. The Lord himself will plant them in the land. That will show how glorious he is. Isaiah 61:1-3

Recovery puts us in the unique position to share out experience, strength, and hopes with others in the process and still experiencing the negative effects of addictive and compulsive behaviors. God has anointed us to ‘Share our Vision’ with others. Join us this week for Living Life Recovery at our Hastings (Monday 7:30 pm) or Dandenong (Thursday 7:30 pm) meetings as we look at ‘Sharing our Vision through Sharing our Stories’
