Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.—Colossians 3:16-17 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the rich message of Christ—and the example that He gave us to follow. Help me to represent Him well, today.
I know that if I ever hope
to represent Christ well, I must allow the truth of the message of Christ, in
all of its richness, to fill every part of my life
Help to understand
fully that this means that every thought that I allow to remain within my mind, every
word that I speak, every action that I take, and every motive of my heart, must
be a reflection of Christ in me.
Help me to teach and
counsel others with all the wisdom that He gives—speaking only words of truth
and grace in love—as I spend time in His Word and allow its rich message to
fill me so completely that it can’t help but overflow to others.
Bring up from within me,
psalms, hymns and spiritual songs of praise and worship, that I might sing for
You—from a heart that is filled with gratitude—giving thanks, through Christ,
to You.
Thank You for the message of Christ—and the example that He gave us to follow. Help me to represent Him well, today.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
