Being God's Ambassador: Meditation 4

Let's prepare to meditate. Start playing your relaxing sounds/music on another device if you like accompaniment with meditation. With your tissues and water beside you, get in a comfortable sitting position. Close your eyes if you'd like. Now, relax your entire body, starting with your forehead, between your eyebrows, your jaws, your neck and shoulders, your arms and legs. Feel the tension release as you relax. Allow the stomach and shoulders to naturally rise and fall as you slowly breathe in and breathe out. Today's meditation affirmation is "I am created in the image of God. He provides everything I need to be His ambassador." Let's repeat this affirmation to ourselves as we concentrate on our breathing for a few moments. Continue your slow, concentrated breathing as I guide you through today's meditation.

Listen to Meditation 4.

In Genesis 1:26 NLT (New Living Translation), God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us.” God made us in His image - yes, our features, but also, our thoughts and desires should be like His as well. So, to be God's ambassadors, we must have eyes to see, ears to hear, courage to act, show love to everyone we encounter, and carry peace in our hearts.

Now, let's place our praying hands against our heart. Heavenly Father, we need Your eyes to see those who are hurting - the obvious and the not so obvious. Teach us to listen without interruption, not to offer advice unless it is asked of us. Sometimes people just need someone to listen without our personal anecdotes. Help us to know how to assist the hurting with Your heart, without judgment. Maybe someone just needs a kind word, a hug, a shoulder to lean on. We want them to see Your Love, Father, and to find strength in You through us, your ambassadors. All glory to you, God. 

Paul said in Ephesians 4:15 NLV (New Life Version), "But we are to hold to the truth with love in our hearts. We are to grow up and be more like Christ. He is the leader of the church." Please, remind us daily, Father, to purposely live and love like Your Son, Jesus, who came to teach us the right actions and reactions before He willingly Sacrificed Himself to save us from our sins of selfishness and self-righteousness. Help us to be more like Christ, Your Holy Son. Thank you for making Your Instructions readily available to us so we can be better ambassadors of Your Love. 

Let's breathe in and out 3 more relaxing breaths, repeating to ourselves, "I am created in the image of God. He provides everything I need to be His ambassador."

Now, open your eyes if you had them closed. Gently move your neck from side to side. Place your hands on your lap and tap your fingers one at a time. Wiggle your toes. Get a drink of water. 

Thank you for joining me today for this relaxing meditation and learning how to be a better ambassador for God. Let's get out our journals and title today's entry "Being God's Ambassador".

  • List the Bible verses and affirmation from today's meditation. 
  • Write down names of those who need your help. Let God guide you. Is He showing you? Do they seem sad, nervous, agitated? Or has someone directly asked you for help? Maybe it's a coworker, a teller at your bank, someone at church, one of your children, a group of people in the world at large.
  • How can you help them? Monetarily? Prayers? Listening? Just jot it down. This is between you and God. "I'm going to pray for God to be with bank teller Susie. She was unusually quiet today, so I think she may have something going on in her personal life." Whether it was an argument, loss of a loved one, lack of sleep, or something else, that's between them and God. You don't have to mention it to the person. Just be kind and understanding to them without getting huffy as in, snatching the money from her hand and thinking, well, I won't go through her line again after the way she acted today. We all have our "off" days from time to time and for one reason or another. During these times, we just need understanding and not judgment. Others do too.
With that, I hope you have a few more minutes to listen to the song I added to the end of this post, "Less Like Me" by Zach Williams.

Radiate love, and sparkle for the Peace of Christ. Glory to God in Heaven.

Grateful for you today and wishing you many blessings,


Patricia

New Christian T-shirts Designed and Listed on Etsy

I just finished designing a couple of Christian T-shirts and listing them on Etsy. You can read more about these and keep up with new arrivals on my Digital Potpourri Blog. If you have a custom request, you can contact us via Etsy messages . We'll be happy to try to produce a t-shirt to your liking as long as there is nothing profane, vulgar, immoral, licensed, trademarked or involving hate related to the design. One of the tees reads Love Obey Trust with bible books, chapters, and verses that coincide with these words. The other states God Lives Here with "Here" inside a heart shaped from mini hearts. So, basically 2 messages. God Lives and He lives in our hearts. 😇 Thanks for dropping by to read my updates today, Patricia

Finally a Few Nice Days in a Row

I've been waiting and waiting for spring temps to arrive for more than a couple of days without rain. And this is the week! We finally have some color in the yard and on our deck. So, I want to share what my husband, son, and I have been up to for the last few days. First of all, we had our first cookout on Sunday, April 28 to celebrate our younger son's birthday. That officially kicks off spring. I mixed the first batch of hummingbird nectar a couple of weeks ago, hoping the males would take advantage while the females were tending to their nests. As far as we can tell, 1 male has visited twice. Of course, we can't look out the window all of the time. But we do look out frequently. And we hang them in 2 locations that we can see directly from the kitchen windows. The rose bushes started blooming about a week ago, and I finally had time to take pictures of them. I pulled out the grass and weeds that were growing around them a couple of hours after I took the front-facing ...

Tomedes Free Transcription and Translation

Recently, as you know, I’ve transitioned from a career in transcription and data entry to one focused on generating passive income . Throughout this shift, I’ve realized that I still rely on AI transcription services for the writing component of my new business. In previous posts, I mentioned several AI transcription options, and today, I want to highlight Tomedes’ free Transcribing (up to a 10 MB video file) and Translation services.  Tomedes Transcribing and Translation Services Like other free offerings, these services come with certain limitations and may incur additional charges once those limits are exceeded. However, I find their free offers to be comparable to other AI transcription and translation platforms available online. Offering free services showcases Tomedes' confidence in their products. Additionally, providing these free options helps build trust between the company and users, while also giving individuals the opportunity to explore and experience the features o...
