Every child learns what is right, how to live well through the careful and kind guidance from a parent or parent model in their life. The truth about our Father God is that He has the same purpose, models the perfect role as parent with us as well. As His children we are subject to His guidance, His leading, His discipline - "for God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him." God guides us, directing our steps so we will pattern our decisions by what He knows is best for our development and maturity.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

We are told Christ's resurrection is our resurrection too. Wow! Might that we would embrace that truth and realize we are "living letters written by Christ, not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God".

As you listen to these scriptures, contemplate the ways God shows His care for you. No matter where you are, where you go, or what you do, He is always right there with you. His thoughts about each of us, are more than the grains of sand this world holds. Never are we out of His thoughts.

What is our purpose, and once we understand it, how do we stay in the center of what's best for us? Jude said it best, "carefully build yourselves up in this most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit, staying right at the center of God's love, keeping your arms open and outstretched, ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ."

The second half of the Beautitudes takes us from understanding our inner world, to gaining a new perspective of our outer world - the ways in which we should also perceive others and what they do or don't do. Each point Jesus makes is to show us a better way to interact, a better way to live, and a better way to see who we are and our real purpose.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

Throughout the Scriptures we see reminders of the value of living life well. The sage advice cautions that life is short, yet the perspective is that there is more! God speaks to us through these pages, reminding us as well, that how we live here matters - now. Our purpose, our spirits are eternal and we're made for more than we see in these moments.

As you listen to the first half of the Beatitudes, take time to take in the meaning of each concept Jesus presented. He talked about exasperation, of giving up and accepting who we are. He explained that what you feel or see as loss, was actually the entry point to gain, to recovery, and to peace. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

Life defined. It is more than breathing air. It is believing God for who He is - Love - it's essence - the Source of it - the beginning and the end of it. Yet, life never ends.

We don't often think of God in a position of validating us! Yet, that's what He desires to do. God's way of living is one of having a tender heart toward those less fortunate, and compassion for those who are lonely and forgotten. God doesn't ask for rule keepers. Instead, He looks for those who know love restores hope, covers shame and heals broken hearts.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

This meditation takes us from Job's lament (and ours) of wondering if our lives really matter to reminding us that there is a deeper purpose to our lives. This meditation shows us God's view of us - that so much more is accomplished than we reaalize when we give no matter how we feel, when we trust God even though we don't see why we should. His Kingdom operates when we choose to trade our lack for His presence. Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

Living well seems to be a balance of finding our purpose and enjoying our days. One does not preclude the other, nor is one more important than the other.

In the beginning. When we hear that phrase we immediately think of the creation of the world. Our perspective is from our point in time. In the beginning was a long, long time ago. Yet, God was before time started. And Jesus was and still is the Living Expression of Father God. Time and eternity. Jesus, God joining us in Time, and Jesus, existing as God, Creator, before Time. All that was made was done for us. Beauty for ashes, a light in darkness, a promise set deep in our hearts that there's more – that time may end, but we will not.

For us who know God, we know the presence of God either changes us or changes the situation we're in. God assures us He works everything for our good and according to His purposes. And what are His purposes? To change us into the sons and daughters He created us to be – just like His Son. So,, if God is for us, who can be against us? Really, only us. God's love for us never ceases, never diminishes. He is continually calling us to following Him into our future. To turn our hearts toward His so we can fully experience the goodness of our His love in every moment of our lives. In the tapestry of our lives, there is one strand that is interwoven into every fiber of our being; it is the love of God. Might we consider and realize there is no greater goal, greater purpose for ourselves than to grow up into the men and women of God? People who know we were made to carry light into darkness? Let's be brave and follow His light – wherever He goes.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

Jesus said He came into the world as a light. John described Jesus as the light of life. And Jesus told us that even we are the light of the world, if He is in us. What is this connection? How can we bear the Light of Life? Do we consider the weight of this glory in us? Might we stop ourselves from conjecture, and assumptions and let Jesus show us, shine His light on us and reveal the doubts and dishonor we have brought to the power of His presence in us.

Throughout Scriptures we are encouraged to run with endurance. Endurance comes from practice, from training and from a commitment to finish what we've started. In this case, it is to see our faith to its end. To finish our life here having done all we could do to be faithful to the one who loves us most.

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.

The theme for today's meditation is Always Safe, based on selections from Psalm chapter 91 and John chapter 14. We are God's children. As we finish our time considering our home with Him and what that looks like, He reminds us of the safety we have in His presence. We are not to fear the darkness, the beasts or disease. We are to cling to Him, to call to Him, to trust Him. He is our protector, our father, our keeper. In Him our identity is confirmed.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

The theme for Today's meditation is Confession based selections from Jeremiah chapter 14; Psalms chapters 32 and 66; 1 John chapter 1; Proverbs chapter 28; Matthew chapter 12; Hosea chapter 14; and Romans chapter 6.

It is a healing of the soul. Burdens are lifted and hope is renewed. Trust God with your heart and your health. Freedom reigns in the lives of those who live honestly with God.

It has always been God's desire to dwell with us and this desire is fulfilled through our belief that Jesus is our Savior. He has bridged the gulf between heaven and earth, coming to us through His Holy Spirit placed in us and through His resurrection, in which we have already risen with Him, from the perspective of eternity. We are encouraged to trust that Jesus is indeed coming back for us while we trust Him as well to lead and guide us where we are now. It is in His house we want to live, and with Him, always.

Today's meditation challenges us to trust God. If we listen as sheep listen trusting the one leading us that we will be fed, and protected, we can move through our days with confidence that we're not alone, or forgotten. We can believe that goodness and mercy are with us every day of our lives. How much do we trust Him? What might be lurking in the shadows of our lives? When will our cups of fresh water brim and be enough? Is this really the right path to take, God?

There is a recurring theme in scripture – God's comfort cascades on us when we are suffering. Do we see it? Do we feel it? Often not. Yet – it's true. He hears us and is near. It isn't dependent on our faith, it is God who keeps us from falling, from failing; whose words of hope and truth resound in our spirit as we wonder where He is. I'm here, He says. I'm in this with You. I have not left. If you are suffering – be assured- you are not alone.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

Collaboration is often defined as two or more parties successfully working together on professional or artistic projects. It is more than cooperation. It is the developing of each other's ideas. Might we have ideas that are bigger than us? That somehow are incomplete yet crucial to the success of the concept? Are we willing to let go of our ideas and explore the power of collaboration through which God's Spirit can and does ignite passions and ideas never before thought of? Might our dreams be the catalyst for something bigger that can only be accomplished with others? What will God breathe into your spirit today as you listen for His dream for you?
