Episode 11: Ephesians 4

Today's meditation is based on Ephesians 4, the Passion Translation

I walk holy, in a way that is suitable to my high rank and divine calling with tender humility and quiet patience. I always demonstrate gentleness and generous love, especially toward those who try my patience. I am faithful to guard the sweet harmony of the Holy Spirit in the bonds of peace. 

God is the perfect Father who leads me, works through me, and lives in me. And he has generously given me supernatural grace, according to the size of the gift of Christ. 

I'm not easily shaken by trouble nor led astray by novel teachings, or by the false doctrines of deceivers who teach clever lies. Instead, I remain strong and always sincere in my love, as I express the truth. I am made new by every revelation that's been given to me--transformed as I embrace the glorious Christ within as my new life and live in union with Him. 

God has re-created me all over again in his perfect righteousness, and I now belong to Him in the realm of true holiness. I discard every form of dishonesty and lie. And I'm known as one who always speaks the truth. 

I don't let the passions of my emotions lead me to sin. I don't let anger control me or be fuel for revenge. Not even for a day. I don't give the slanderous accuser, the devil, an opportunity to manipulate me. 

I am industrious and earn an honest living. And I have enough to bless those in need. 

I never let ugly or hateful words come from my mouth. Instead, my words are beautiful gifts that encourage others. I speak words of grace to help others. 

The Holy Spirit of God has sealed me in Jesus Christ until I experience my full salvation. I never grieve Him or take for granted his holy influence in my life. 

I lay aside bitter words, temper tantrums, revenge, profanity and insults. Instead, I am kind, and affectionate toward others. God has graciously forgiven me, so I graciously forgive others in the depths of Christ's love.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
