Daylight Meditations

Today's meditation will help us stand taller as we are reminded of the true reality of where we belong and to whom we belong. The Message translates Paul's letter to the Colossians with this amazing picture of our purpose – that of being kept taut because we are tied tightly by hope of our future in heaven. Our destination is home with our Father God. We can be confident in this and in Him.

God is Love. Love is from Him and it is because of Him that we can love. Yet, as deep as our love may be for others, His love for us is even more powerful, so that nothing and no one can separate us from Him. Not even ourselves. His love is even, unwavering, without interruption. As you listen today, let Him love you and show you why He loves you so much.

Billy Graham said, "The will of God will never take us where the grace of God cannot sustain us." As God's children, we will be guided, led and taught where to go and what to do. We will be equipped for the unexpected and we will teach others for how to live with expectancy. Grace says, "I will always love you. You can call Me and I will answer. You can look for Me in those dark and difficult times, and see that I never left your side."

We can live with confidence that as God's child, God's will for our life is established. We don't know the outcome of today, or what will happen to us tomorrow, but our trust in God's care and love for us, assures us that not one moment is lost or wasted in the economy of His Kingdom, where we now exist, in Jesus.

Being 'in Christ' frees us to be who we were created to be, who God says we are - His children. We are protected, we are secure, we are sealed and we are forever free. Being with Jesus, God sees us complete and whole. Father, give us eyes to see this too. Let us see what you see, that our past is gone and that our future is already here - we are already with Jesus and with You.

Today we consider God as Elohiym, a God of power and might. In the book of John, we learn ‘Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.’ Such a singular and complete statement. All that exists was made by God. Light, life, love, our world, and the universe. In His was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. Light is life - the essence of us and of God. Come and listen to the truth about Elohiym, our great God above all gods.

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. Everyone needs to be loved, to belong, to know they matter – to someone. God, would you open our hearts to love as You do?

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.

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 righeousness. Covered with perfection. That's what our Father sees. Do we see each other that way?
