Clothed in Righteousness

While reading in Colossians this morning, I was impressed at the encouragement Paul wrote about the need to pray one for another so we remain strong in the Spirit, while remembering to adorn our self with God's love and the precious anointing He has placed within each of us. Just as our Heavenly Father supplies fresh mercies every morning for our daily needs, we must remember to address our spiritual needs with the Word of God daily; putting on bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long suffering, temperance, forgiveness, and above all these things to put on love. Jesus told us in John 13:35,"By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." Love is the bond that holds every thing together and allows us to demonstrate Jesus to others in our kindness shown one to another. We are instructed to be mindful of others with long suffering and temperance, quick to forgive, not holding grudges, as God for Christ sake has forgiven us; remembering that if we refuse to forgive others, Jesus told us in Mt 6:15, neither will our Heavenly Father forgive us; so we must forgive and let the peace of God rule in our hearts in all things, being thankful for all He has supplied. God has forgiven us of All our past, present and future sins through the precious atoning blood of Jesus Christ and predestined us to enjoy life abundantly, and this abundant life is ours as we listen and heed to His Word, allowing It to dwell richly within us in all wisdom. As we share His Love and His Word with others, being joyful in praise of our Lord Jesus, Who has redeemed us from all our unrighteousness, we become a living testimony of His great Love and Amazing Grace. What a treasured opportunity we have to be about our Father's business daily; and in all we do, whether word or deed, that we do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, bringing praise and Glory to His Precious Name! So let's glorify Jesus today and go in loving kindness, making this a wonderfully blessed day. God loves you and so do I~~~
