We bring Jesus wherever we go, however we serve,
with our family of believers, our families of origin, our workplace and our
neighborhoods. Using our gifts and talents and finding our place can be an
adventure filled with trial and error, discovering gifts we never knew existed,
or allowing God to work through our sufferings and our weaknesses. Listen for
the prompting of the Holy Spirit within you and relax in the peace and joy of
knowing your Savior is always there, ready to speak through your words, and give
a helping hand with His love.
Take
these words with you over the 4th of July weekend, remembering who
you are and in whose hands you rest.
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 one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. 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.
Colossians 3:12-15
Jesus,
Clothe us in Your love. We are thankful for our
freedom, for our country, for each other. We pray for our nation to be one
nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
Amen
