Daylight Meditations

There are few in our lives that we will trust with our hearts. There are few people in our lives whose word we trust as well. It is important that we realize God can be trusted – with our desires, our concerns, our hopes and our fears. He keeps His word to us – that we are loved far greater than we can imagine, that He will protect us and has good plans for us. He will guide us and surround us wit...

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....

There may be times in our lives when work feels mundane, where efforts fall short and we question our purpose. If we are God's child, we have a destiny that may never 'look' exciting or exotic. Yet, God has ordered our steps and written a plan that if we align and choose to follow is of eternal value - to Him and for us. As one translation says, "we have become His poetry" fu...

As a child of God we have been given many things, and direct access to Him is one of them. Many people yearn to please Him, to see Him and try all manner of ways to reach Him, yet our trust and belief of Jesus' death on our behalf gives us immediate access to Creator God who become our Father. We run through the throne room into His arms. His explosive love envelopes us as we lean in and trust...

In any relationship, the key to the relationship is communication. There are two important aspects to our communication with God - worship and prayer. Worship is often expressed in music, but worship is much more than being able to play an instrument or sing a song. True worship happens in our hearts. It is posture of recognition that the One who has our attention, also has our commitment to serve...

One of the most amazing statements in Scripture is that by being in Christ, we are complete. We are whole. We are not lacking. It is a complete truth. It is amazing because we see flaws, brokenness, and weaknesses. God tells us we are already made new people, whole and holy. He stands with open arms telling us we are healed. We can stay frozen where we are or we can step into His kingdom and live...

Jesus said, "everyone who loves the truth will receive my words." We know that God's word is alive and we also know that words have life or death in them. As you hear this meditation, consider Jesus' words. Do we love truth? Are we unwavering in our seeking truth, listening to truth, in order to live with fidelity and freedom every day?

These scriptures give us perspective of God's dominion and reach. They remind us that Creator God is also the only one with power and dominion over the universe. As God's children, we are in awe of all we see - powers and authorities in heaven and on earth acknowleding His rule. May we not forget, as we too, belong to Him.

Our union with Jesus is a holy mystery. There may be moments when we experience being enveloped by perfect Love and times when we sense perfect Peace. Yet, whether or not we sense or feel Him, the truth is He is with us, we are with Him just as He said in John 17:22 , "The goal is for all of them to become one heart and mind—Just as you, Father, are in me and I in you, So they might be one he...

Jesus held no distinction between people. His friends were not determined by their wealth or interests. He accepted people as they were, giving them dignity and hope. Most of us know 'who we are'. We're aware of our inability to live to expectations and find ourselves disappointed within and with others. Jesus understood the struggles and respected and loved in a way that made people f...

Our position as God's children is established in Jesus by trusting what He has said is true. His power of love frees us from spiritual darkness and opens our eyes to the reality of belonging to God, of being His children and of entering His kingdom now. It is the same power by which He raised Jesus from the dead. That power has raised us up also. Listen to what is God saying in this meditation...

We never grow tired of belonging, of being someone's child. The greatest honor is to be God's child, one who 'looks like' his or her father, one who knows they can go home and enjoy the truth of belonging. Only when we know our Father is near by can we relax and enjoy our place of rest. Let this time of listening, remind you that you are home, no matter where you are. Daylight Medi...

Our story begins with God. He has always been. There has never been a time when He didn't exist. Everything was made by Him and finds its purpose in Him, especially us. Before we were born, God has designs for us, a destiny that displays His kindness and grace, the power of life in love. Let these truths sink into your heart and mind as you listen today. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast...

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. Daylight Meditations is a daily po...

Sometimes our perspective clouds the reality of God's nearness. We reach out toward heaven searching for God. Only when we've surrendered what we believe is dear, do we find He was always close by. When I was in deep distress, I reached out for you with hands stretched out to heaven. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.  Please visit CFONorthAmerica.org to l...
