A Rich Message

On By Judy GlasserIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Paul tells us in Colossians that since God has loves us, we must clothe ourselves in with tender-hearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

He asks us to make allowances for each other’s faults and forgive those who offend us.  When we remember how much the Lord has forgiven us, it’s easier to forgive others.

And we must clothe ourselves with love which gives us harmony.  Then the peace that comes from Christ will rule in our hearts.

Paul reminds us to always be thankful and to let the rich message of Christ fill our lives.

We need to use wisdom in talking with each  other.  With thankful hearts, we sing psalms and spiritual songs.

And all that we do reflects upon Jesus.  We are his representative.

Thank you, dear Father.  Will you please help make this passage true in our lives.

May You be Filled with Joy!

Paul prayed an awesome prayer for the Colossians and I pray these same things for all of us today…..

I ask God to give us complete knowledge of his will and to give us spiritual wisdom and understanding.

May the way we live always honor and please the Lord.

It is our desire that our lives produce every kind of good fruit.

All the while, may we grow as we learn to know God better and better.

I also pray that we will be strengthened with his glorious power so we will have all the endurance and patience we need.

May we be filled with joy!

May we be always thanking the Father for enabling us to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people who live in the light.

Thank you, Father, for rescueing us from the kingdom of darkness and transferring us into the kingdom of your dear son who purchased our freedom and forgave our sin.

Amen.  Hallelujah!

Up On My Wall

Isaiah tells us the God has posted watchmen on our walls who will pray continually day and night without taking any rest.

I know who one of my matchmen was – it was my mother.

God had her posted on my wall and she prayed for me night and day, year after year.

She didn’t have to tell me she prayed – I knew.

I always believed that being posted on my wall meant that she was closer to God.  She had a more direct line because she had a very personal relationship with him.  She was up there, nearer to the heavens, asking for his blessings on my life at times when I felt very far away from him.  He never left me – it was me who wandered away.  But my mother kept me close to him in her prayers.  Looking back, I can see her prayer-print all over my life.

And I know her prayers are still be answered today.  They are living beyond her physical life here.

Her legacy continues.

Thank you, dear Father, for a faithful mother who prayed and will forever be a watchman upon my wall.

People of Light

Paul tells us in Ephesians that we were once full of darkness but now we have the light of the Lord.

And he gives us the challenge of living as People of Light!

So how do People of Light act:

on the freeway?

at the grocery store?

at our kid’s baseball game?

at a restaurant?

when our plane is delayed?

when someone is slowly crossing the street or parking lot in front of us?

when the Walmart clerk is slow?

Wow, if appears that my light needs to shine a little brighter.  How about yours?

Growing Roots

Awesome section of scripture in Ephesians 3!  Let’s pray this together…

Dear Father, we desire that Christ would make his home in our hearts as we learn to trust him more.

Please help our roots grown deep, down into your love so that we will be strong.

We want to know, dear God, how wide, how high, how long and how deep your love is.  

We would like to experience the love of Christ and be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that only comes from you.

We give you all the glory, God.  We know that you are able, through your mighty power, to work within us and accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

Yours is the glory, dear Father, in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever!  Amen.
