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. Colossians 3:13-16
Whew! We certainly need to camp
here for a time. 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. 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.
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
