If we could take these words of St Paul’s, and live them each and every day, our prayers for a renewed world would be answered.
Colossians 3:12-17 Because we are God’s chosen ones, we are holy and beloved.
“The practice of virtues. Because you are God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with heartfelt mercy, with kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. Bear with one another; forgive as the Lord has forgiven you. Over all these virtues put on love, which binds the rest together and makes them perfect. Christ’s peace must reign in your hearts, since as members of the one body you have been called to that peace. Dedicate yourselves to thankfulness, Let the word of Christ rich as it is, dwell in you. In wisdom made perfect, instruct and admonish one another. Sing gratefully to God from your hearts in psalms, hymns, and inspired songs. Whatever you do , whether in speech or in action, do it in the name of the Lord Jesus. Give thanks to God the Father through him.”
