3-18-25   THOUGHTS

In studying for our Tuesday class, Rom 1:6-7a  says  “among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ; 7  to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints:”   If yesterday’s post
could be called, “Priniciples For Meaningful Living!”... We could call this reading “Part 2"!
The class will close with this reading.  Can you see why it was chosen for our building up? There are many things for us to do here.  Many things that need to be ETCHED into our character!
They need to “richly dwell within” us!

Col 3:12-17     So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; 13  bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. 14  Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.  15  Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,
                       to which indeed  you were called in one body;
and  be thankful. 16  Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17  Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

My Prayer:
Father, help our lives to be centered on Your Son, the Lord Jesus.  As we give You thanks in all, may we remember that He is Lord.  May love perfect our unity in the Church.  May our love fellowship grow and thrive in the words You have given above.  May we bear with one another and forgive at all times.  We lift You up our Awesome God.  With all our hearts, may we seek eternity with You through Christ our Lord.   In the name of  our Savior,   Amen.
