Daylight Meditations

Being in Christ, we live in forgiveness and we are invited to choose to live fully in what we've been given - the power of God. The power of forgiveness is an irretractable truth that as sin is covered, a gift is given. Not only has God restored us to life, He has also given us the power to live it, as He does.

The signposts of life point to honest living, straight talk and hearts of love. Devoting ourselves to living in the sight of God helps us keep on the path He has chosen for each of us.

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.

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.

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.

As you listen today, be comforted if you are tired and remember God. Sometimes the stress of our lives prevents us from seeing God’s goodness is never less nor absent from us. It is our experience in the moment that has created a barrier, that seems unsurmountable because it is what we feel, what we hear and what we see. God says, Put your hope in Me – not in how you feel right now. Remember Me. I am your Savior.

Once again, the realm of God's kingdom turns our world upside down. Real freedom is being free from self-indulgence. When we control our desires, and seek another's well-being, we are loving deeply and restoring life and freedom in this world. We are equipped by love to move beyond, to see beyond ourselves into another's need and love them in it.

Joy is a state of being. It is deeper than happiness, and more satisfying than laughter. It is the sigh of contentment and comfort, of realizing all the experiences of our lives add up to a purpose that God will weave into our story. Joy is the result of believing we have value, and what happens to us matters. Let these words remind you there is purpose and a plan for you – and God will be with you in this journey.

Throughout history, God has entered the physical realm of earth and time to speak to us, to walk with us, and to guide us. When God entered our world as Jesus, He opened the door for us to enter eternity. From the moment we believe the truth of who Jesus is and trust Him, we are given a new role. Now we have access to God in eternity because His Spirit is with us in Time. Here we live, but there we reign.

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.
