Christian Meditations

Openness to God is the key to living in the power and joy of the Holy Spirit. Feel the reality of Pentecost in your life. A Christian disciple lives by the loving will of God.

Many people are afraid of God and so they fear God and fear for their own future. The good news is that God with bring home to heaven all his children, and wipe away all their sins, fears and suffering.

God is Endless and Infinite Love. Love itself must be the guiding star of all that we feel, think and do. Like God, our life should be love itself. Love alone brings everything we dream of.

Like the Apostles, we can get so caught up in the problems and troubles of daily life. We need to raise our mind to the glorious future that awaits us in Heaven. This glimpse of Glory will strengthen and sustain us on our journey.

It is natural to hate pain and suffering. They seem so pointless. However we can use pain to learn, feel and grow in a deeper way. Suffering can call forth our love and compassion.

We all need God's help when it comes to the hidden fault we can all suffer from. Spiritual blindness. We must be searingly honest before God.

God sets the bar very high for us when he commands that we love, respect and forgive all sinners. But, with the help of God's Spirit of Love, we can also scale the heights of love.

God is love, and yet Christians are often uncertain what God wants, especially in times of sickness. Where is the Christian ministry of healing today, and in your life?

The goal to which all Christians are striving is holiness. Sometimes we're confused as to what exactly this means. It seems almost an impossible dream. "Who me? Holy?" Yes, and paradoxically it is simplicity itself: just say YES to God in everything.

If we are unsure how to deal with other people, the Golden Rule makes it easy. It simply asks would you like them to do that to you. The Golden Rule alone develops loving and authentic relationships: the very essence of happiness.

God's abundant grace is all around us, everywhere we go, in our daily walk with God. We pray for the faith to believe and live this beautiful truth.

We are all severely tempted to judge others at times. We Christians know that Jesus tells us not to judge. This is a great challange to all of us, an ongoing journey.

You know that your earthly pilgrimage does not last forever. Heaven is our true home, where our earthly material treasures will never go. We build the true treasures of our heart, through love, kindness and in our daily actions as children of God.

Learning to forgive, and even love those who hurt you, brings its own great reward. It creates great peace of mind and joy in your heart. This brings us closer to Jesus who forgave and loved his enemies even on the cross.

We all find forgiveness difficult, and yet we know we must discover a way to move on from this hurt. If you can, the rewards are enormous. You heart will grow with love, and you'll enjoy peace of mind. You might even free the other person.

Your deepest desire as a Christian is to become ever closer to God. Jesus constantly taught that genuine closeness to God resides in your Heart. In this mediataion you focus on purifying your heart and become an authentic role model for others.

We Christians are called to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. We do this as a community of love and service, evangelising all those who are open to our message. We ourselves are called to an ongoing process of personal conversion. Our hearts will determine all our actions.

We are all tempted to be selfish, but we forget that the best possible gift we can give ourselves is to love, serve and show mercy to others. God repays this a hundredfold. Ask yourself, what kind of heart have I? Am I truly loving, compassionate and merciful? What more could I do to improve? To Love? Be merciful?

Here we focus on those who stand up for justice, even at great personal cost. Such heroes deserve our admiration, gratitude and imitation. Ask yourself – am I afraid to speak up for my values? Could I be better in the future? Am I just? Honest? True in all I do? Have you a passion to see justice done?

Humility, a beautiful virtue, is simply to recognise, with deep gratitude, that all we have, and all that we do, and all that we are comes from our creator, the God of love. As Jesus himself tells us "Without me, you can do nothing." Are you truly humble in your dealings with God, and with other people? No arrogance?

In prayerful meditation, discover your true God-given vocation in life. So important! You'll find answers to these questions: What's my own calling? What talents has God given me? How do I use them? What else can I do? Am I walking in the path God gives me?

This meditation will help you in the ongoing struggle we Christians often face in today's modern world. Very often our values are very different. God will help us to be brave, and stand up for our beliefs. When we do, we feel dedicated and strong.

In this first meditation, we focus on the fact that God has a very special purpose of every one of us. We are called to an ongoing conversion of heart and mind. God continually speaks to you, in a thousand different ways, guiding you to grow ever closer to His perfect plan for your life.

Meditation is really quite simple. You just open your heart and mind in prayer, and come closer to God and His purpose for your life. A time of quiet thought and mindful reflection. I am convinced that this little dedication of your time and energy will help you to keep better focussed on your true purpose in life, and find happiness in making a difference. Why not make this ancient form of prayer an essential part of your everyday life?

Why miss out on the countless benefits available to you? Christian Meditation gives you peace, harmony and happiness; wisdom, self-knowledge and fulfilment; self-discipline, self-control and serenity; spiritual growth and a deeper communin with God.
