Episode 79: Romans 15

Today's meditation is based on Romans 15 from The Passion Translation

I am mature in my faith and do not live to please myself but have learned to patiently embrace others in their immaturity. My goal is to empower others to do what is right and good for them, and to bring them into spiritual maturity. For not even the most powerful one of all, the Anointed One, lived to please himself. He allowed all of the insults of those who insulted me fall upon him.

I know that Scriptures are meant to instruct me in how to live. They impart encouragement and inspiration to me so that I can live in hope and endure all things.

God, the source of great endurance and comfort, graces me with unity among my fellow believers. This unity flows from my relationship with Jesus, the Anointed One. With a unanimous rush of passion, I glorify God, the Father of my Lord Jesus Christ, with one voice along with my fellow believers. I bring God glory when I accept and welcome them as my partners, just as the Anointed One has fully accepted me and received me as his partner.

I am convinced that Jesus, the Messiah, was sent as a servant to fulfill the promises God made and to prove God’s faithfulness. And now, because of Jesus, even I, a non-Jewish person, can glorify God for his kindness to me, fulfilling the prophecy of Scripture that God will be proclaimed among all the nations and they will sing praises to his name. And that the non-Jewish would celebrate life right alongside his Jewish people.

I praise the Lord and raise my voice in praise to him. All my hopes have been met in Jesus.

Now God, the fountain of hope, fills me to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as I trust in him. And the power of the Holy Spirit continually surrounds my life with his super-abundance and I radiate with hope!

My spirituality is genuine. I am stuffed full of God’s goodness, and richly supplied with all kinds of revelation-knowledge, and I am empowered to effectively instruct others. Because of the outpouring of God’s grace on my life I am a servant of the gospel of God, constantly doing the work of a priest, for I endeavor to present an acceptable offering to God. I am set apart and made holy by the Spirit of holiness.

It is through my union with Jesus Christ, that I enjoy an enthusiasm and confidence in my ministry for God. And I will not be presumptuous to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me. It is my honor and constant passion to spread the Good News, so that those who know nothing about him will clearly see him, and those who have not heard will understand.

I partner with my fellow believers -- especially those who are missionaries -- because of our union with Jesus Christ. I intercede for them in my prayers to God. With the love we share in the Holy Spirit, I fight alongside them in prayer. I ask the Father to deliver them from the danger they face from unbelievers. 

The God who gives me his peace and wholeness is with me. 

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
