26 Apr 2024: My Father's House
For many of us, our home is a place of safety and shelter. For some of us, that is not necessarily so. With God, though, home is always a safe place. And being with God, is a safe place. God wants us to remember we have a 'home' in Him, where we are hidden from the chaos and trouble, where there is ease and comfort and we can be ourselves. Our Father's place is our place – we are with Him here - and now.

25 Apr 2024: Loving as God Loves
The scriptures remind us when we take up permanent residence in a life of love, we live in God and God lives in us. God drenches us in His love and gives us the capacity to love others the same way. Living well, is letting go of a temporary role to gain a far greater identity - one who loves like Jesus.

24 Apr 2024: Living with God
It has always been God's desire to dwell with us. This is fulfilled through our faith in Jesus as our Savior. He has bridged the distance between heaven and earth, by giving us His Holy Spirit for guidance and correction. We trust Him and what He said, as recording in the Scriptures as well as what He says to us every day through His Spirit in us. He is with us and we are with Him, even though we don’t always see it fully – it is still true – because God cannot lie. Because God wants us to be with Him. Because He loves us so very much.

23 Apr 2024: You are a new Creation
To become who we were born to be, begins when we believe who Jesus is. Our spirit is born and we become new creatures. It then becomes our deepest desire to learn about our identity, our purpose and our destiny. Today's meditation reminds us why we yearn to know more about God, to know God, and therein learn who we really are.

How amazing that our God, who reigns in Heaven, a high and holy place, also resides with us, and in turn we in Him. In Christ, we have the privilege of containing the Spirit of God. Father, we are humbled by Your presence with and in us. Would You make us instruments of peace in this world? Would You open our minds to the truths of who You are, what You are and who You created us to be? Would You change our perspectives on what is important and give us, who are blind, sight – to see You, to see what You are doing? Would You help us to understand the immensity of Your heart for people? What is man and woman that we are in Your thoughts continually? What is our place in all of this?

There are people we admire. They face the difficult situations in their lives with a sense of purpose, yet are pliable to God’s greater purpose. They have an outlook of hope when we doubt and they show us how to live with God’s faith. Doing the right thing at the right time is wisdom learned, and wisdom applied.

17 Apr 2024: When God Speaks
Being honest with ourselves is the first step to being vulnerable with God. It is knowing we need Him that frees us to begin to trust Him with examining our souls. We are fragile, made of earth, easily broken, and not easily fixed. We ask Him to take a look, wondering if this particular break is beyond His care, His abilities. He knows we are small and unsure. Yet our trust opens our hearts to the true nature of God - revealed in every word He speaks. When He breathes on us, the fog of doubt is lifted, and we see ourselves as He sees us.

16 Apr 2024: The God Life
We don't often think of God in a position of validating us! Yet, that's what He desires to do. God's way of living is one of having a tender heart toward those less fortunate, and compassion for those who are lonely and forgotten. God doesn't ask for rule keepers. Instead, He looks for those who know love restores hope, covers shame and heals broken hearts.

The second half of the Beautitudes takes us from understanding our inner world, to gaining a new perspective of our outer world - the ways in which we should also perceive others and what they do or don't do. Each point Jesus makes is to show us a better way to interact, a better way to live, and a better way to see who we are and our real purpose.

Throughout the Scriptures we see reminders of the value of living life well. The sage advice cautions that life is short, yet the perspective is that there is more! God speaks to us through these pages, reminding us as well, that how we live here matters - now. Our purpose, our spirits are eternal and we're made for more than we see in these moments.

9 Apr 2024: Did You Know?
As you listen to the first half of the Beatitudes, take time to take in the meaning of each concept Jesus presented. He talked about exasperation, of giving up and accepting who we are. He explained that what you feel or see as loss, was actually the entry point to gain, to recovery, and to peace.

8 Apr 2024: From the Center of Life
What is our purpose, and once we understand it, how do we stay in the center of what's best for us? Jude said it best, "carefully build yourselves up in this most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit, staying right at the center of God’s love, keeping your arms open and outstretched, ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ." Let us pursue our purpose, indeed.

Life defined. It is more than breathing air. It is believing God for who He is - Love - it's essence - the Source of it - the beginning and the end of it. Yet, life never ends.

Living well seems to be a balance of finding our purpose and enjoying our days. One does not preclude the other, nor is one more important than the other.

In turn, we are to mimic, to learn how to be faithful to Him and to those in our life. It is a bond, God's promise of standing with us that expresses the depth of love and honor that we in turn can do the same to those around us.

Although different attributes of our behavior and attitudes, kindness and gentleness are closely related. Both convey a sweet attitude toward others. Kindness is an act as well as an attitude. It reaches out, is sympathetic and soothes the rough edges of life that another person is wrestling with. As you listen today, let kindness become a tangible action in your thoughts and actions by taking in the reality of these living words and letting them be who you are when you are with others.

It is an interesting concept - to clothe ourselves with gentleness. Might that be one of the qualities people see first when they meet us? Might that be what we wear in our homes and in the marketplace? What would change in our world if we walked through our day with the heart of gentleness toward every creature, every person? Father, would you place this quality of character across our shoulders, that we might carry your compassion everywhere we go?

Patience involves understanding timing, an element in this world that is beyond our control. Yet, being patient is within our control. It is a force of our will to restrain from selfish desires, from pushing ahead when we need to stand still and let God be God. The measure of our maturity can be seen in how we handle ourselves with patience.

Once again, the realm of God's kingdom turns our world upside down. Real freedom is being free from self-indulgence.

We are equipped by love to move beyond, to see beyond ourselves into another's need and love them in it.

James writes that peace is a seed from the fruit called spiritual maturity. It is 'sown in peace by those who make peace by actively encouraging goodwill between individuals.' We must have the seed to sow it. It is a release of our desires for the deeper healing of Jesus' presence. His peace is ours, giving us the seeds that can be sown in others' hearts.

As with all aspects that define our Lord and God, goodness is a quality of His character. Paul write to the Ephesians, for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth. Our life in Jesus develops such fruit. The goodness of God, is something He share with us- that we might share this sweet tasting fruit with others.

Of all the expressions of emotions we have, love seems to be the easiest and the hardest to share.

Every child learns what is right, how to live well through the careful and kind guidance from a parent or parent model in their life.

As His children we are subject to His guidance, His leading, His discipline - "for God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him." God guides us, directing our steps so we will pattern our decisions by what He knows is best for our development and maturity.

19 Mar 2024: Live in Peace
There is perhaps only one way to live in a place of inner peace. We try to impagine it as silence and solitude. God says it is His peace that transcends all understanding. It is beyond comprehension, yet it exists in our relationship with Jesus. Our surrender is to Him, not to nothingness. It is by keeping our thoughts on what is true and real – on Him, that we find true rest and a peace-filled life. It is the Lord of Peace who has already given us peace. Trust Him.

How secure, how safe it is to be with Father God, who knows you, and loves you without reserve.

14 Mar 2024: I Am Loved
No other issue should matter when I believe, truly believe God really loves me. He keeps me from stumbling, His love covers me like a blanket, His compassion is new every moment. Love is kind, gentle and forgiving. Knowing my Father loves me is what matters most in this world - and the next.

Our God is a personal God. He wants us to understand that as our Father, He is near, and is personally interested in our concerns and well-being. The scriptures tell us to pour out our hearts to Him, to share with Him the details of our lives, because in doing so, we will sense His nearness and realize He hears us - and He cares.

This meditation continues with Psalms 19, bridging the distance of the universe to our souls. It points to God's attention and intent of perfection is the same for us as it is for the placement of the sun, moon and stars. Who are we, God, that you pay such close attention to us? Every word You speak is truth. Everything You say creates life. May we recognize the depth of Your love for us. May we in turn, love others the same way.

Our lives are the most truthful witness of the value and change that a commitment to Jesus brings. As we think and speak the Truth in love, we release life into the lives the others, which in turn, generates hope of a better way to live now.

We're invited to join God in His work. Each of us has a role, we've been given many gifts and we're called to use what we have and who we're made to be. Yet, even in this, it is the Lord who completes the work in us and through us. We need only to be open and available.

Peter tells us, Love is a safe place of shelter, for it never stops believing the best for others. May we become that shelter for those in our homes, for our friends, for strangers needing to know they are not alone in this world. Help us, Father to remember, Love covers so much more than we could ever dream.

As you listen today, let this prayer of hope and of blessing permeate your thoughts, your emotions and your spirit.

Listen and let these words become the hope and blessing that create life within you today, so the wisdom of God, the power of God and the hope for meaning in life is known through you wherever you go.

Take a moment to consider what it means to have the Spirit of God dwell with us, in us! It is an immense concept and truth. Our belief in Jesus as God's Son, God's deposit of His Spirit in us to protect and seal us as His own, creates a bond, a preservation of holiness within us and with Him. May we honor our relationship with God's grace and love toward us.

27 Feb 2024: Binding and Loosing
To give us the authority to spiritually bind or loose on earth, and know that in Jesus' name, God is doing the same is an awesome responsibility. God is trusting us with His name, and His power. The keys to authority come from acknowledging and submitting to the authority of Love. It is in Love that we fight for the souls of others. It is not for our rights, but for their safety and security. Let His Love be the binding of our hearts and loosing of His kingdom power on earth today.

Whether we have spent much time thinking about it or not, as God's children, we add flavor wherever we go. Our interactions are the sprinklings of God's grace, spiritual and eternal blessings to grace the lives of the lonely, the sad ones, and those who are burdened. We don't often know who they are. We are just to be a savory moment that makes their day a little better.

It's pretty simple, really. God says, your work is to do good. God has asked us to join Him in loving others, being gentle and kind, forgiving as we have been forgiven, sharing what we have and blessing with the gentle rains of peace. For this, we will be called His people. What an honor.

This meditation has two parts. The first one, today, postions us. We are to listen as sheep listen and obey their shepherd. We are to trust, that we will be fed, and protected. We are to believe that goodness and mercy are with us every day of our lives. This establishes our thoughts and keeps us from wandering away from God's best for us.
