God never Changes. – thank goodness for that

16th January 2013 aeboyle Principle 3, Step 11, Step 3 Comments Off on God never Changes. – thank goodness for that

Have you ever prepared something you thought was fantastic and God said ‘Change it!’

At Celebrate Recovery this week we are looking at the topic if DENIAL. And, I have prayed, waited and prepared three different meetings. 2 of which I thought were pretty good. The third I think is fantastic (because it’s not mine) Tonight asI sat at my computer the Holy Spirit spoke and I typed.

The result: I am so looking forward to Thursday night and anticipate Holy Spirit intervention.

As I type this I am watching a clip on ACC called ‘You are My God.’

God is Good – Thankyou Jesus.

He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created. (James 1:18)

My work year for 2013 begins today

Below are the verses from my morning devotions as I return to work, after three weeks away.

Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t assume that you know it all. Run to God! Run from evil! Your body will glow with health, your very bones will vibrate with life! Honor God with everything you own; give him the first and the best. Your barns will burst, your wine vats will brim over. But don’t, dear friend, resent God’s discipline; don’t sulk under his loving correction. It’s the child he loves that God corrects; a father’s delight is behind all this. (Prv 3:5-12)

Lord, help me to include you in all I do and say today.

Turn to God

13th January 2013 aeboyle Love, Principle 3, Step 10, Step 11, Step 3 Comments Off on Turn to God

God’s loyal love couldn’t have run out, his merciful love couldn’t have dried up. They’re created new every morning. How great your faithfulness! I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over). He’s all I’ve got left. (Lam 3:22-24)

Our lives are defined by daily cycles. Each day full of fresh opportunities, challenges, risks and sins. As sure as the sunrises each day God’s love is ‘new every morning’ He is always ready to forgive us, heal us and restore us. Everyday He is faithfully supporting us, encouraging us and empowering us.

Whatever you do today, whatever you face, turn to God and allow Him to guide you.

Be prepared

Isn’t it obvious that all angels are sent to help out with those lined up to receive salvation? (Heb 1:14)

In today’s verse we are told angels are involved in the process of recovery. They are God’s servants, constantly serving and protecting us. They are also watching over those who are still caught up in the despair of their addictions and compulsions.

Preparing us for their arrival on the Road to Recovery.

ARE YOU READY? to help others as they arrive in your group.

Integrity – Week 2

KEEP YOUR COMMITMENTS

It is always difficult to keep our commitments to people who don’t deserve it, but we should. God pours out unconditional love to us. He loves us and is committed to helping us no matter where we have been or what we have done. Understanding that fact is foundational in our approach to our commitment to others.

People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

28th October 2012 aeboyle Living Life Recovery, Step 11, Step 12 Comments Off on People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

Our critics see struggling souls on thousands of crosses! They see people who have dropped out of school, failed in a pursuit or otherwise in a hopeless situation and they drop their heads saying it is all over! They see people living in poverty; or trapped in the claws of ignorance and they respond “it’s all over!” They see drug dealers, prostitutes and hustlers and they say, “It’s all over!”

The message to the critics is simple, “Don’t count any saint out because a just man fails seven times, and rises up again!

Jesus came to save sinners.
