In Acts 17 , we learn ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’  Take this Living Word that brings life to our body, soul, and spirit. There is Life in God, and what He says to us. May be become those who give gracious speech, bringing cheerful ways to those needing refreshment.  Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.  Please visit www.cfonorthameric...

In so many places in Scripture we are told we are not alone, that God is with us. The Psalmist exclaimed, no matter where I go, You, God, will be there. Take comfort and believe. God is here with you, wherever you are.  Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.  Please visit www.cfonorthamerica.org to learn more about our retreats.

Even in the midst of trouble, God is still faithful and compassionate! David also spoke of God's faithfulness in the night season. The Bible speaks of His great mercy, of how He is rich in mercy. When we are hopeless and helpless, He pours out His mercy on us, through His Son Jesus Christ.

Is our love like God's love? Can we love as He does? The Scriptures say we can if we know God. 1 John tells us,  God is love and we are His children, given the characteristics of love that are sourced in Him. Love and forgiveness are two sides of the same coin. To forgive is to love deeply. May we find ourselves forgiving often.  Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North Ame...

Proverbs 27:19 says, As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart. God advises us to be careful what we desire, cautions us to think and speak with honest hearts. Jesus told us, For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.( Mt 6:21 ). As you listen today, consider what do you treasure?

What a beautiful promise and hope we have in Jesus' prayer to Father God, "I have revealed to them who you are and I will continue to make you even more real to them, that they may experience the same endless love that you have for me, for your love will now live in them, even as I live in them!" May we let this prayer sink in, that God so loved us, that the focus of Jesus' life was to love us who...

Although we generally are unable to see the spiritual realm it is as real as what we can see. Our world is under the influence of the spiritual realm and freedom from oppression, hatred and resentment is experienced as we believe in Truth about who we are, who Father God is, how we have been equipped to live in His strength. For it is "in Him [Jesus] we live and move and have our being." Daylight...

We have the experience of light and darkness every day. In our physical realm, there is day and night. In the spiritual realm, it is life or death. Jesus taught, God is light and there is no darkness in Him. This more than we can understand, yet it is totally true. God's Spirit give life through trusting Jesus, and this life from God dispels the darkness in and around us. We are transformed into t...

It was Jesus' prayer before being arrested that we would be blessed by our Father. Jesus speaks clearly and without pretense with God as he asks that we benefit from his big 'ask' - "make them holy by the truth". He could have asked for our comforts in this world, or for taking us out of the world, but he knew the very core of existence here was to live spiritually alive and to receive our strengt...

We don't often think of God being loyal to us. Yet, He listens for our prayers, answers our prayers, not because we are worthy or He is required to serve us, but because He loves us so deeply. He takes care of us, knowing what we need before we ask. Consider the simple prayer of the Psalmist who acknowledges the authority of a God who listens and responds, loving us personally, looking out for our...

Whatever we do, it is for God and it is His power at work in us to accomplish what we are tasked to do. Love is the source of our strength and the purpose of our work. As you listen to this meditation, remember your work is worship. It all is for His name and love to be known in this world.   Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.  Please visit www.cfonorthameric...

Listen carefully to these instructtions from Jesus: Open up, be generous,  and trust God with your life. Love really is that simple. Remember that life and death are in what we say.

Today's meditation continues our examination of our hearts, reminding us that our gift of freedom is through forgiveness. So, we too, must free others, no longer slaves to our unforgiveness. Let us freely give not only to others, but ourselves as well!  Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.  Please visit www.cfonorthamerica.org to learn more about our retreats....

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...

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...

Enter into this Truth about who you are as you listen with an open heart to God's words about you.  Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.  Please visit www.cfonorthamerica.org t...

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 t...

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.  Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America. &...

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.  Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.  Please visit ww...

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.  Daylight Meditations is a daily...
