Today has been a crazy hectic day… It started busy and has stayed busy. I have been sitting in the same chair in the North Regional Library for the past 4 hours and I think we are starting to become too close of friends. Let me see… my day has been full of … kids, dog, take kids to school, missed working out, missed coffee, panera, coffee (yeah!!), Long term strategic planning for TrueLife, sermon prep, roundtable training for the fellowship of ministers to which I belong, connecting with new comers to TrueLife, TrueLife Staff conversations, approval of a great new graphic for summer sermon series caled “Becoming Legendary, and random facebooking and emails sprinkled throughout. Kind of a typical day.
I am sure that your day may be crazier than mine. I am in control of my time (for the most part) and I still feel out of control most of the time. How in the world can I grab a moment to read the Bible, let alone memorize it. This is the multi-tasking, fast paced, soul sucking environment we dive into everyday.
Slow down for 15 minutes. Long enough to read this passage. Think about it. Write it for yourself. Try to write it like you are the author. The Holy Spirit is giving you these words to share with someone else.
Here we go:
“Therefore as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. (13) Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Colossians 3:12-13
Man..I needed that today.
