“Bonds Of Perfection”
Annie, OIC
Colossians 3:12-Therefore as the elect of God; Holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering, bearing with one another each others burdens, forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you so also you must forgive.But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection;and let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord; and whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
We are the elect of God, the called, the bride of Christ. We are Holy and beloved of God through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.Lord, we choose to put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, and longsuffering, bearing one anothers burdens. We are to forgive one another. If we have a complaint we are to deal with it and forgive it. Above all we are to put on love. The bond of perfection. Let the peace of God rule in your heart. We are to put on love for we are one body. We are to be thankful as we let the word of God dwell in us richly in wisdom and understanding.
“ Lord Jesus, I thank you for all you predestend me to go through that made me a partaker of your sufferings. I thank you for the tender heart you have given me. Help me use it to reach out to those in need. Thankyou for a compassionate heart. I know you are reshaping me to use me for your good purpose. Make me more like you Lord. Who am I that you would use me. Wait, I know who I am, I am yours. Use me for your glory. In Jesus name. Amen.
