Radiate Truth Minute Meditations
The renewal of the Church is also achieved through the witness offered by the lives of believers: by their very existence in the world, Christians are called to radiate the word of truth that the Lord Jesus left us.

You are Unique Minute Meditations
There is no one else like you. There is no one else in the world who is where you are in relation to those in your life and to those you meet even casually during the day. You are essential to Godâ€™s work among his people.

Modeling Jesus Minute Meditations
When we share our faith, Jesus is our model. He had compassion on the unbeliever. He met people on their own level, and he spoke their languageâ€”in parables and stories they could understand.

Showing Favoritism Minute Meditations
Although parents may love their children equally, natural preferences still enter into the human heart. Feelings are not sins, but that doesnâ€™t relieve us of the responsibility to act fairly. When favoritism dominates family relationships, polarizations and divisions can occur.

Positive Self-Worth Minute Meditations
The more we focus on what Godâ€™s plan for us might be, the less we need to concern ourselves with other peopleâ€™s reactions. Our self-worth is not dependent on other peopleâ€™s opinions of us. No one else has the power to make us better or worse than we are.

Saving the World Minute Meditations
Our actions may never make headlines. Not all of us are called or have the opportunity to be heroes in a dramatic way. But every time we make the hard right choice or extend ourselves in some life-giving way, we are helping to save the world.
