“So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. 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. Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.” Colossians 3:12-17
You are His chosen one, a child of God created in His image and likeness. You are called to be holy in your everyday life, to live each day by following in the footsteps of Jesus. These verses from Colossians give a blueprint for doing so.
When Jesus walked this earth He treated all He met with compassion and love, kindness and patience. If you had been there He would have treated you in the same way. You weren’t there, but He is here. Treat all as if He was right there with you. Treat yourself as if He is there inside you. He is.
Let the word of Christ dwell richly in you. You are His chosen one. Do all and be all in the name of the Lord Jesus!
