God isn’t just loving—He is love. Every characteristic we’ve explored in this meditation series stems from this profound truth:

• God is merciful because God is love.
• God is gracious because God is love.
• God is faithful because God is love.
• God is just because God is love.
• God is holy because God is love.
• God is compassionate because God is love.
• God is sovereign because God is love.

It’s why we’re closing this series with the truth that God is love—the umbrella under which all His character and actions fall.

This meditation is Ephesians 3:16-19, a beautiful prayer from Paul for the church in Ephesus that is also for us. In this prayer, Paul asks God to empower us with inner strength, to help us understand the limitless dimensions of Christ’s love, and to make us complete with the fullness of life and power that come from Him.

As you meditate on these verses, I pray you’ll be reminded that you are deeply loved by our good and loving Father. May this meditation help you grow more rooted in His love and inspire you to live in the fullness of His love today.

The entire meditation text is as follows:

Scripture: Ephesians 3:16-19, NLT

16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. 17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

Have you ever wondered, If God is in control, why does life feel so out of control?

In this meditation, we’ll explore the comforting truth of God’s sovereignty through Isaiah 46:9-11. This passage was spoken to God's people during a time of exile and uncertainty. Just as it reassured them, it reminds us today: even when life feels chaotic, God is still in control. His plans always prevail.

As you listen, you’ll be guided to reflect on God’s sovereignty over all things and remember how He has worked in your life before. We’ll also explore how He’s inviting you to trust His good plans today.

Whether you’re waiting for God’s plans to unfold or simply need a reminder that He is still in control, this meditation will help you pause, reflect, and rest in the truth: God’s good and sovereign plan will come to pass.

The entire meditation text is as follows:

Scripture: Isaiah 46:9-11, NLT

9 Remember the things I have done in the past.

For I alone am God!

I am God, and there is none like me.

10 Only I can tell you the future

before it even happens.

Everything I plan will come to pass,

for I do whatever I wish.

11 I will call a swift bird of prey from the east—

a leader from a distant land to come and do my bidding.

I have said what I would do,

and I will do it.

Have you ever experienced unexpected kindness when you needed it most?

I’ll never forget the day a stranger stepped in to buy breakfast for my daughters and me when I didn’t have cash. Her compassion met our immediate needs and left a lasting impression on my heart.

Compassion always moves to action, and this is the very nature of our God.

Psalm 145:8-9, 14-18 gives us a beautiful glimpse into God’s compassionate character. It reminds us that:

• God helps the fallen.
• He lifts those burdened under heavy loads.
• He is near to all who call on Him in truth.

In this episode, we’ll meditate on these verses and reflect on how we’ve experienced God’s compassion in our lives. Together, we’ll:

• Thank God for His compassionate help in the past.
• Share with Him where we need His compassion today.
• Ask Him to shape us into people who reflect His compassionate heart.

Take a moment to pause, reflect, and rest in the truth that God is full of compassion and ready to help you.

8 The Lord is merciful and compassionate,

slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.

you satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing.
