Motivation

We only get into trouble when our motivations are wrong.  We may recieve wrongful judgements from people who don't know us or who are just cruel, or people just refuse to believe us when we truly are innocent. The Lord says that we should rejoice in that sort of behavior.

But when we choose things that have ulterior motives, or use slight of hand to manipulate people or situations to our favor, is when trouble starts brewing.  If we don't come clean with our misguided thinking, then people will start to look at us through the corner of their eyes in suspiscion.  This is the change in our relationships with others, the collapse of innocence for both parties. 

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices show us that this is a travesty for living free in the spirit of God, because we always have something to hide....as small as it may be.

Grudge

The dictionary says: "submit unwillingly".  This in itself isn't such a problem as we have to do this on a regular basis, as does everyone.  Another definition is "to carry ill will".  This is where the addiction part of life rules.  The Bible says if we allow one sin to run free in our lifestyle, then much worse is to follow.

Unresolved feelings will drag you down to a place where anything the Bible says about "just treatment" gets ignored.  A lower level of religion in it's finest supports rule breaking, lying, gossip, treachery, and a muriad of other forms of malice.  In Jesus' case it was the Pharasees who premeditated His murder.

The root of all this is pride, because if we had no pride then none of this would matter and life would carry on unruffled.  The bigger problem is we can fall into this same behavior because we choose to ignorantly sympathize with the perpetrator rather than study the Word of God to find the answer!!

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices show us what avenues our debaucherous thinking takes us, to get us started and then locked into our addictions.

Experience

When we think back at what we've learned in life, are we happy or confident with that?  Angry? Relieved? Dismayed? How about hurt, disappointed, shocked, blessed, or satisfied?
Being assured that we have done the right thing is very comforting.  When we learn negative or hurtful things, they don't go away easily.  We really need to work at not repeating or even trying the undesirable things that we learn in life.

Just because someone else does those things does not mean they are in the right, in God's eyes, however it may be completely acceptable in today's society.  The Bible is God's way of telling us what's right when it comes to Heaven and what's wrong when it comes to earthly thinking. 

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices show us that if we think like God, then we can dwell with Him, when the time comes.  Free from all hurts, habits, & hang-ups.

Like Minded

If we allow poor feelings to get the better of us, then we invite worse characters to dwell with us.  Poor company leads to poor thoughts.  Poor thoughts lead to bad actions.  Bad action leads to trouble.  If that's the very thing we are trying to walk away from, then why do we repeat the bad actions over and over again?

The company we keep will lead us to unbelievable places.  Negative people will lead us to negative places. Positive people will lead us to better places than that, some spectacular.  The weak in spirit will seek the strong, and the strong in spirit should mentor the weak in spirit.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices teach us that if you never seek to change, then you will never have it.

Depression

Why is depression in life so different than an artists interpretation of a depression in a landscape?  They create beautiful renditions of natures depressions, whereas people display darker images of human depression.

Some of the ways it's created by being unsure of yourself, feeling defeated, abandonment, fear, or a lack of success.  We could be sooo needy that we can't focus on anything but our failures. We don't even see one success as being successful at all. It's all or nothing at those times.

What if there was a way to express human depression in an artistic way, a way to let others know what we need, feel, or want?  Maybe depression is just unvoiced creativity?  Maybe we don't really know what creativity is?

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices help to clear the debris in our minds so we can find who we truly are...deep down in the depressed areas of our mind.

Uncertainty

Being uncertain can render you motionless.  Our relationships, finances, health, job, even our direction in life can have extreme detrimental effects on our well-being!  Too scared to move forward or sideways for fear of failing.  Thinking we are a loser or failure if we step backward.  The greater hinderance is reaching out to others for fear of rejection or judgement.

Uncertainty is so very real in our minds that it can kill our creativity, ambition, trick us into thinking we are something else, and flatten who we really are.

But the Bible tells us to thrive on uncertainty, to find joy in all things and situations, and to remember to thank God for our position in life.  A life in recovery from hurts, habits, and hang-ups is one that needs to be ready for uncertainty and to step out of the ruts we made for ourselves.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices help us to realize that God can change our whole life is the blink of an eye if He thinks we can handle it, so we should start thinking that way.

Success v/s Failure

The Bible says to be content where you are and a level of success will meet you.  It probably won't be what the world thinks it is, but something far richer and more fulfilling.  However our focus remains on the worldly view, so it's hard to imagine something you've never seen before.  It's equally as hard to recognize something that you can't even imagine!

So changing directions or methods is still progressing, just not in the way we started.

Failure comes when our focus is on the goal and not the journey, on the prize and not on the sheer enjoyment of it.  Seeking a life with Christ is all about the journey and the sheer joy of it.

Self-help groups like Celebrate Recovery & Life's Healing Choices teach us that there can be joy in amidst the dark times in our recovery.  We just need to focus on the joy.
