Opening Hearts: Monty'man's Meditorial on Trust and Recovery
God gently, persistently knocks. God says: here I am, I would like to spend time with you. Well, recovery is a process of learning to trust god.
Ever felt like you've built walls so high that no one can get through? In this heartfelt episode of Take 12 Recovery Radio, Monty Dale Meyer, known as the Monty'man, brings us a meditorial titled 'Someone's Knocking at Your Door'. Drawing inspiration from the book of Revelation, Monty dives into the importance of boundaries in recovery and how healing often means learning to open the door to our hearts and trust in God's gentle knocking.
Many of us in recovery have fortified ourselves with defenses to shield against the chaos and pain of addiction. We latch, bar, and bolt our doors, wary of letting anyone in. But as we heal, we slowly start to unlock these barriers. Monty reflects on how Jesus stands at the door and knocks, always respecting our boundaries and inviting us with patience. Recovery is a journey of building trust in God, step by step.
It's not about doing it all at once but starting by listening for that knock and acknowledging God's persistent presence. In this inspiring meditorial, Monty encourages us to have the courage to open our hearts to God's loving presence. He ends with a prayer, reminding us to be grateful for God's persistence and to trust that, with time and patience, we will sit at the table with God and enjoy his loving presence.
