verse of the day:
first lets break down the verse...
-we are god's chosen ppl
-automatically holy & loved- no questions asked
So we know that as God's people he loves us and thinks of us as holy- no matter what wrongs we have done, are doing or will do- now holy... to me that seems a little out there- When I think holy I think Jesus or maybe Paul or some sort of saint but remember that when we accepted christ into our hearts God doesn't see us as we were but Christ through us- so we ARE holy and have the ability to try and act as holy as Jesus the Christ is.
-we need to clothe ourselves with good characteristics
Clothe ourselves... when we pull on our tshirts, jeans, or w/e else you chose to wear everything sticks to your body- become one with you- in the same way God wants us to treat compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience as though they were apart of you.
-forgivness and compassion are not an option
I mean thats basicly it... they even use the guilty card
-love is the main ingredient, the stitches that keep the fabric tied together
basically the verse is telling you that all those wonderful things we should do- don't mean a thing unless you do it with love. Love is the essence of everything.
funny to see how much you can take from a verse.
I did this verse rather than chapter 2 of Ezra because it was just a genealogy but tomorrow we will continue with the 3rd chapter of Ezra :]
Oh Lord God I pray that Love may rule our lives and that we, your chosen people, may recognize the price you put on our heads- the blood of your own son which reconciled us to you. Because of that sacrifice, that forgiveness of what was once unforgivable, makes us obligated to not only forgive them but to love them and have compassion for them. Let us understand lord that nothing can be done "enough" or "close" but your ways are above and beyond we are called to do more, not just what we are called to do but what we as your children are meant to do. Lord show us your love, not only in black and white but let us experience it. Let us experience the life of Abraham, the life of Esther, the life of Paul. Let us know no bounds- only the extent of your love, as far as the east is from the west.
I'll love you forever I'll like you for always, as long as eternity my father you'll be.
In Jesus Name, Amen.
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.
Colossians 3:12-14first lets break down the verse...

"Forgive as the Lord forgave you."--> which is true but it does make you feel obliged to follow through with it doesn't it
