Daylight Meditations

This meditation gathers together several statements that confirm and remind us of the truths of being 'in Christ'. If we are made by God for doing good, given everything we need to accomplish what God has prepared already for us to do, might we then conclude that there is nothing that can keep us from doing it - except our own choices? It is our choice to trust and live in the belief that what God...

Jesus, the blameless One, could have judged fairly. Instead, He chose not to judge, but to love each person He met. When we understand the full impact of who Love is and what Love does, only then will we trust God with the outcome. Judging means we’re afraid “they will get away with it”. Jesus says, “leave it to Me, let Love make the ruling.” The theme for today’s meditation is Justice, Part 6, ba...

Grace is favor. It is a blessing the moment it is bestowed on another person. God sees our hearts and knows our intent.

The truth of being free in Christ is explained in today’s meditation. It is sometimes hard for us to comprehend the reality of this as we tend to interpret freedom with movement and choices. The Scriptures speak of us being rescued from ‘the tyrannical rule of darkness’, and this rescue releases us from the chains of sin. Might we consider that this too, has freed us to move – to stretch high and...

We are challenged throughout the Scriptures to be generous. We are encouraged to live from a heart that is not afraid of loss but is willing to love with an extravagance that cannot be quenched. Only in that way, will we experience the extravagant love that God has already given to us. Let us not be timid but bold in giving to others.

One of the definitions for 'glory' is: magnificence or great beauty. Such is the description of God, and yet it falls short.

He invites us to join Him in caring for and about others in ways that can change lives and bring justice. Father, would you open our eyes to the injustice in our towns, in our neighborhoods? Would you give us the courage to speak up and speak out that people would be free ind...
