Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your
hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set
your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life
is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears,
then you also will appear with him in glory.
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 one
another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord
forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all
together in perfect unity.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as
members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message
of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all
wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with
gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it
all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:1-4; 12-17
Donna, I was able to print this off for my 22 yr old grandson who is graduating from college and heading to Austin to work until he can get residency and go to law school. He had tears in his eyes when he read this and recived the little Bible from me. You may have met Jackson. Bryce was his confirmation mentor.
