We can't picture it in our minds. We can picture dysfunction easily enough. We have learned dysfunction backwards and forwards. We know it well. Fortunately, recovery is not some set of new insights about the human condition.
Recovery goes back as far as human history.
God has always been in the business of bringing change, growth and healing to people who are struggling with the most difficult of life's experiences. The Bible is rich in powerful images that have long helped people of faith to understand the process of recovery. This first set of meditations examines some of the biblical images of recovery. We have been encouraged by the variety and depth of these themes. May you be encouraged in your journey as you reflect on these powerful biblical images.
