“When I first crash landed in recovery, you promised me a new life.”

The Creator gives with great affection; creatures receive. Nothing in the great world would exist but for this constant relationship. Rocks, plants, animals, human beings, stars, galaxies, universes—without the ongoing creative power of God at every moment, all would collapse into an unimaginable no-thing. Owing one’s existence to the ongoing creative love of the living God is the core meaning of being created. Today, I celebrate Your ongoing Love and Affection in all of Creation!

If you know your worth, you do not need anyone else to confirm it; if you do not recognize your value, you will not gain it by getting others to approve. Today, help me remember that my inner world is where real change occurs. Show me the truth about myself, that I may manifest Love in all of my relationships.

Meditation for the Day “I will try to obey God's will day in and day out, in the wilderness plains as well as on the mountaintops of experience. It is in the daily strivings that perseverance counts. I believe that God is Lord of little things, the Divine Controller of all happenings. I will persevere in this new way of life. I know that nothing in the day is too small to be part of God's scheme. Prayer for the Day I pray that the little stones that I put into the mosaic of my life may make a worthwhile pattern. I pray that I may persevere and so find harmony and beauty.”
