Daylight Meditations

Listen to the truths about God and His patience. The enemy of our souls, Satan, would have us believe the lie that God is not kind enough, or patient enought or loving enough. Each of us needs to know, to believe that our heavenly Father will not toss us aside, or tell us we're just no good, or remind us of our failures. That is not His way - the truth will always be - He has all the patience in the world - and so much more.

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. The truth about our Father God is that He has the same purpose, models the perfect role as parent with us as well. 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.

God will always hear our cry, and pull us out of the pit of condemnation. It is our hope in Him that pleases Him. He does not operate in time but in the outcome of maturing us to be who He knows we are. We don't see it. We will trust that whatever we are struggling with, will resolve in His timing. Open your heart to hope once again, and let God’s Spirit remind you He has your back, He is with you, He will rescue you.

It is easy to look for the result and ignore or be impatient with the process. Such is true with being a branch in Jesus and waiting to 'bear fruit'. We point to love, joy and peace and the outcome, and they are. We try to be them, make it happen yet it is only by being connected to the trunk and root of the Vine, and allowing the flow of nutrients to the full extent of who we are that we participate in the development of fruit. Remain in Him and you will enjoy the process of becoming one who offers the fruit of peace to those who need the refreshment of peace.

We are accepted as we are. We are not ignored or cast aside as 'not good enough'. We only need to believe it. We belong and our Father is delighted to see us - all of the time. Run to Him and see for yourself!

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.

God has given us all we need to live under His protection: faith, truth, salvation, His very word and His Spirit. We are well equipped to stand firm on this earth, pushing back the darkness in the protection and power of His Name.

As you listen today, let this prayer of hope and of blessing permeate your thoughts, your emotions and your spirit. We echo Paul’s prayer to the Ephesians: "I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know… " - the hope, the inheritance, the power and the wisdom for how to engage others so that they too may know. 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.

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.
