Speaker 1: turn your thoughts towards what God has for you. Today

27
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: we will be meditating on Ephesians chapter four, verse two

28
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: from the King James version. With all loneliness and meekness,

29
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: with long suffering, for bearing one another in love. Take

30
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: a moment to pour out your adoration to God, who

31
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: in humility bears us in love. God, I worship you

32
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: for who you are. I will love you with all

33
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: my heart, with all my soul, and with all my

34
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: might for you, who knew no sin, became sin so

35
00:02:54,639 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: we might become the righteousness of God. Your power is infinite.

36
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: Yet you oppose the proud and give grace to the humble.

37
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: Before the foundations of the earth were established, you called

38
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: me by my name. You alone are worthy to be praised.

39
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: Loving others in meekness and through long suffering is a

40
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: high goal to achieve. People can have high expectations and

41
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: be difficult to deal with. Relationships you thought sturdy and

42
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: secure can quickly turn into mine fields. So how to

43
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: navigate these situations without a detonation? You must rely on

44
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: the help of the Holy Spirit. Think on recent situations

45
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: where your actions were void of humility, patience, and love.

46
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: You failed because you were trying to do something alone

47
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: you were never meant to. The Holy Spirit was designed

48
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: by God and sent to us to help us be

49
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: more like Jesus, to help us be humble and gentle,

50
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: to help us put up with each other in patience

51
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: and love. Think of the situations and relationships you're not

52
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: doing well in confess them to God so you may

53
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: receive redemption and restoration. Now consider for a moment the

54
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: love of God for your life and thank Him for it.

55
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: God's love for you has never and will never fail.

56
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: His patience is eternal. Thank God that neither height, nor depth,

57
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: nor any other created thing will ever be able to

58
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: separate you from His love in Christ Jesus. Think for

59
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: a minute on past experiences where God used others to

60
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: show you love in patience and gentleness. Think of circumstances

61
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,799
Speaker 1: where you allowed God to use you to love others

62
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: and how amazing it felt. God is present and he's

63
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: listening to you. Never forget. God wants you not just

64
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: to succeed, but to thrive to have happy and healthy relationships.

65
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: He died to give you power over sin and the

66
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 1: ability to live out his word. Reach out to God

67
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: for his guidance so that whatever you do, you do

68
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: from a place of love. Ask the Holy Spirit to

69
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: help you bear the people around you in love. Ask

70
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: him to help you be patient and gentle when interacting

71
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: with others. Remember God instructs us to bear one another

72
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: in love. We are to accomplish this through humility, gentleness,

73
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: and patience, with the aim to sustain unity and peace.

74
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: Be encouraged. You are not alone in this mission. You

75
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: have God's Holy Spirit to help you and to guide you.

76
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: He will never leave you nor abandon you. You can

77
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: do this. Thank you for completing today's meditative prayer on
