Today brings a sense of refreshing and a time to reflect on the many ways God has delivered through the week and I can't help but praise Him for His healing touches upon the lives of my family and friends I hold dear to my heart. He continues to bless my life with miracles and provisions in ways that leave me feeling overwhelmed at His Love! What a Healing Jesus we have in Him! What an Unconditional Love He shares with all of us! What a caring God who meets our needs and guards our footsteps while leading and guiding us each moment of each day along life's way!
Not only has He forgiven our past sins, His Power continually works within us to assure an abundant life as our minds are Him. His Freedom and Deliverance over past hangups, from past hurts, and past habits is a reminder that just as I have freely received this precious gift 'Paid For In Full by Christ Jesus'; now I must share it with others in need. Freely I received so Freely I must share His Love with those I meet along life's way.
We are encouraged in Colossians 3:12-17 NIV "Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. 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 word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. 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."
Paul teaches us to be mindful of our new life in Christ Jesus because people can be quick to judge and throw wounding words; but he teaches us to quickly forgive; otherwise we might say or do something that would cause our testimony of deliverance to be of none effect. As God has forgiven us, we must forgive others so our prayers and Christian walk are not hindered.
So today let's seek to be kind one to one another; tenderhearted forgiving one another, even as God for Christ sake has forgiven us(Eph. 4:32). Let's shine forth the fruit of His Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23) as we display His Love in all we do and say! Let's be a reflection of our Lord Jesus as we follow in His footsteps today!
Enjoy this glorious day God has given us and be blessed, dear friends. God loves you and so do I~~~
