according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.
Philippians 4:19-20
We are so grateful for our relationship with our Father through Jesus Christ. Our life has been eternally changed through the gift of eternal life. We are blessed with no merit of our own. We didn’t do anything to invite God’s wonderful gift. We lived as rebels in a crooked and perverse world. We could not do anything to earn or repay such a gift.
Our gratefulness should produce in our lives so many results.
JOY – True joy is not based on circumstances, but on our awareness of the incredibly rich relationship with our Savior Jesus Christ.
COMPASSION – Our hearts should be filled with compassion for men and women who live their lives without hope and without the knowledge of true love.
LOVE – Our love for those around us should be astonishing for them. We should love our enemies, we should speak well of those who speak evil of us, and we should give without expecting anything in return. We love because He first loved us.
FORGIVENESS – Our hearts should be willing to forgive always as we remember that we have been forgiven of much greater sins.
SERVICE – Our service for the Lord should be continuous and selfless. We should be willing to serve as slaves of our Master Jesus Christ.
WORSHIP – Our worship should be driven by our amazement for the glory of God as we live in awe of His splendor and majesty.
WITNESSING – We should be so overwhelmed by our new position in Christ that we should desire everyone we know to enjoy the same privilege we have.
PEACE – We know Who holds our present and has secured our future. We know God sends us only good gifts and has carefully planned our life from birth to the day He will call us to Himself.
PATIENCE – God is forging us into image of His son Jesus Christ. Our trials are only God’s way to produce in us what we should all desire.
This is not an exhaustive list, just a way to jump-start our day, our month, our lives.
