Our scripture this morning is Colossians 1:11-14.
We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins.
Paul writes to the Colossians, teaching we must always give thanks to God for our gifts, asking for patience and endurance in a world that often opposes God’s love. Our inheritance in Him is through Christ and by His sacrifice we are saved from darkness, forgiven, and called to share His love. This is our blessing and our task, to go in His name to the world. May we all live in His light, rescued and redeemed!
Gracious God, we are ashamed of the times we fall away from Your love and Your plan for us. Help us to be strong in faith, bringing the Good News to all. Amen.
