1-Minute Meditation: Jesus

I sing the words of this song to my boys every night at bedtime. It’s simple, having only four lines, but the words are powerful and have the ability to guide the course of my day, week, month, year and life.

May I encourage you as you read this to center on every word,
marinating in the beauty of this truth. Hide it away in your heart and
take it out during the course of your week when you are in need of direction.
I promise you this, it will leave you better than when you came.

“Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
look full in His wonderful face
and the things of earth will grow strangely dim
in the light of His glory and grace.”

“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;
who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,
despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:2

1-Minute Meditation: Awareness

“God made the world for the delight of human beings–
if we could see His goodness everywhere, His concern for us,
His awareness of our needs: the phone call we’ve waited for, the ride we are offered,
the letter in the mail, just the little things He does for us throughout the day.
As we remember and notice His love for us, we just begin to fall in love with Him because He is so busy with us — you just can’t resist Him.
I believe there’s no such thing as luck in life, it’s God’s love, it’s His.”

Mother Teresa, born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu (pronounced [aɡˈnɛs ˈɡɔndʒa bɔjaˈdʒiu]),
was an Albanian Roman Catholic nun who founded the
Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata (Calcutta), India in 1950.
For over forty years she ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying,
while guiding the Missionaries of Charity’s expansion,
first throughout India and then in other countries.

“I will let God’s peace infuse every part of today.
As the chaos swirls and life’s demands pull at me on all sides,
I will breathe in God’s peace that surpasses all understanding.
He has promised that He would set within me
a peace too deeply planted to be affected by
unexpected or exhausting demands.”
~Wendy Moore~

How wonderful would it be if I started my week with this thought, spoke it out loud, lived it to everyone I see, truly believed it…how much more controlled and centered I would be.

Ironically, control is what I’m grasping for and the more I do, the less I have.
The chaos and demands will most assuredly swirl. Why not take a great big, deep breath of God’s peace that is too satisfying for us to even understand and rest in the promises of His goodness.

Action: While in the car driving home, in the shower, walking in the door, folding laundry, just before sleep, when I wake up in the morning…I will physically take a deep breath and envision God’s peace filling my lungs and permeating every part of my being. While exhaling, I will envision all stress, worry, malice, sickness…leaving my body. I will do this at least once per day for the next seven days while thanking God that He is in control and I am not.

Happy Monday!
