Meditations

A bathroom devotional I wrote for my floor--my last one as a CMC in Wright Hall and as a college student. With all the craziness going on in life, it was a reminder I needed as well.

I want to take this time to remind you to make sure you take time to simply slow down. Take some time for yourself, take time to just breathe, take time to sit and do nothing for a while. Take some time to meditate on the Lord and what he has done for you.

Take comfort in His goodness.

Find peace in His protection.

Find strength in His joy.

God has promised to never leave you nor forsake you.

He has promised this.

You have been given victory over sin in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Victory – know the power of it!

You have been given new life in the Holy Spirit—

Once dead, now alive!

You have been called by the King of kings to share in His eternal Kingdom—

A royal inheritance.

You have been adopted as a son by your Heavenly Father—

A family to which you are welcomed with open arms.

Our God has done so much for us, and has promised so much more. Claim these promises for yourselves. Claim the work of the Holy Spirit in your life. Trust in God’s goodness. Rest in His unfailing love. You who have fallen away from Him, He is calling you back. Come. Come to love and trust and serve Him once again. As when the prodigal son returned to his Father, our Father is waiting with open arms to receive you again, and overflows with joy when you return.

May these meditations refresh you and allow God to speak to you. May His strength carry you throughout the end of the year and into the summer, whatever you are doing. May His love never cease to amaze you and renew you. Amen.
