Daily Meditation: Meditation

DAILY MEDITATION Meditation September 21 Photo courtesy of SDGimagery.com When Jesus says: "Sky and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away" (Luke 21:33), he shows us a direct way to eternal life. The words of Jesus have the power to transform our hearts and minds and lead us into the Kingdom of God. "The words I have spoken to you," Jesus says, "are spirit and they are life" (John 6:63).   Through meditation we can let the words of Jesus descend from our minds into our hearts and create there a dwelling place for the Spirit. Whatever we do and wherever we go, let us stay close to the words of Jesus. They are words of eternal life. For further reflection... My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word.  Your word, O Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens. - Psalm 119: 28, 89 (NIV) Your response... "You are a branch on the vine of God. A branch doesn't seek the vine; it's already part of the vine. A wave doesn't look for the ocean; it's already full of ocean." - Martin Laird, Into the Silent Land Comment on this Daily Meditation.
