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. Let the message of Christ
dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom
through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude
in your hearts. 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. Colossians
3:13-17
Whew! That’s a lot to
take in. Yesterday we were clothed in kindness, humility, compassion and
patience. Today we add forgiveness and peace. Did you notice what the Bible
says to put on over all of these virtues? Yep, there it is again…love. Love
binds them all together.
And be
thankful. I am thankful to God for so many things. I have been richly blessed
in my life. Tomorrow is my husband’s birthday and I thank God for him every
day. Enjoy the weekend. Wrap yourself first in God’s great love and then go
share it with someone else. Share it with compassion and kindness, with
humility and patience. And be thankful. See you on Tuesday!
Dear Lord,
Every good and perfect gift is from above. We are
thankful for Jesus and His ability to treat us with His great love and
compassion. We are dearly loved.
Amen
