Colossians 3:12-17

Good Morning,

Colossians 3:12-17 (NIV)
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

You know, there are times when I think we're simply meant to bask in the beauty of Scripture and allow it to flow into our minds and hearts and souls...and into our very being.

Today we've been blessed to read a beautiful section of Scripture. Today is one of those days when I think we are to open ourselves up to the leading of the Holy Spirit and allow Him to speak into us all of the wonder, meaning, and understanding that is written. And allow God to flow His love into us...then that same love into one another.

Chosen people...compassion...kindness...humility...gentleness...patience...forgive...love...unity...peace...teach...admonish...wisdom..sing...gratitude...
Do all in the name of the Lord Jesus!


Love, peace, and blessings,

David
