Daylight Meditations

Children learn from their parents. Through loving guidance they learn what is right and best.  As God's children, we watch and listen. We learn how to be kind, to forgive as we have already been forgiven in Christ. This meditation reminds us that our experience of forgiveness is tied to our choice to forgive those who offend us. It releases the power of love between us, and between us and God. Can we trust our Father's advice that forgiving is to give freedom?

Listen to Jesus' prayer, His honest appraisal of His relationship with Father God and His deep love for His disciples and for us! His heart is so transparent that we feel a hush in the room, even though we weren't there at the time. How amazing it is for us to realize He had developed the same heart for His followers and the world as His Father has. Is that not, the heart we are to ask for?

The first section of the third chapter of Colossians tells us about our identity. These verses instruct us as to how we should live. As God's children, as those who have His character within us, His virtues are our virtues. God's way of responding in love, demonstrating how to love, is our mandate as well. Prayerfully engage God in your day, asking Him to be love through you to those who are hard to love, who need to be loved, who will see love only as you love them.

Transformation is a process, a journey of change. In Christ we are urged to live up to the new creation we have become. As you listen to these scriptures, consider these questions: In what ways do I remain in my old self? In what ways have I been transformed? In what ways am I not being changed or transformed? Let's examine our motives, our desires and our heart for all God has given us. He does the changing, we only need to agree.

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.

It is God who works in us to become what we are not able to do - to be holy people. In Christ, we have been made whole and holy. As we choose to obey God's way of living, we experience this better way - God's kingdom of rightness, goodness and wholeness.  Consider your thoughts and heart as you listen.

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.

God's thoughts about each of us are more than the sand on the earth. Knowing these thoughts focus on His love for us, we can trust Him to take care of us. We can keep company with Him, be open with Him and know that He will never stop doing good in our lives. We can, indeed, trust Him with all that we have, all that we are, all that we have yet to experience.
