To be with someone is often the most desired thing. To belong, to rest in the knowledge another accepts us, is happy to be with us. Our Father is like that. He loves to be with us, to protect us, and He wants us to always come home to Him, where we belong.

God is personal wanting us to understand that His love as a Father and friend means nearness, endearment and personal interest in our concerns. The scriptures tell us to pour out our concerns, to share the details, because in doing so, we will sense He heard us, and He cares.

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!

There is perhaps only one way to live in a place of inner peace. We try to conjure it will silence and solitude. God says it is His peace that transcends all understanding. It is beyond comprehension, yet it exists in the relationship we have with Jesus. Our surrender is to Him, not to nothingness. It is by keeping our thoughts on what is true and real, on trust in Him that we find rest and a peace-filled life.

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.

We can only imagine what a garment of praise might look like! Is it glowing, does it move with the music, with our hearts of joy? We're told we are clothed with salvation, praise, mercy, and righteousness. Covered with perfection. That's what our Father sees. Do we see each other that way?

Consider the words you hear that describe the love our Heavenly Father has for us in this meditation. We are deeply loved and cherished, children of the Most High God. What an honor it is to be thought of this way.

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. Today's meditation was originally broadcast on July 1, 2020.

When we have pure hearts, we can see truth, life and love. It is God's desire that our choices are for the goodness of others, to store up love that will flow like a river from our lips, refreshing our families, our friends and whomever we meet. All are thirsty. All need to be loved as Jesus loves us.
