Today's scripture:
Colossians 2:1-5
I somehow missed writing yesterday's devotional ... My only excuse is I've been
sick since Sunday, and I just missed it ...
Anyway, let's focus on today's scripture. One of the greatest gifts—among so
many—about being a follower of Christ is the fact that we're a family. Those of
us who believe in and follow Christ are brothers and sisters. What I love most
about this is, no matter where you go, you can find a whole new set of
Christian "siblings."
My husband and I talk often about "slowing down" someday. Somewhere
less hectic and quieter than Southern California. One time when we were talking
about moving, he, who is not a follower of Christ, made a very true statement:
Wherever we "land," I'll quickly find a new church home and a new set
of "siblings." I'll soon be part of a small group of women who will
pray for me and with whom I will fellowship.
It's such a blessing! And as Paul writes, even when we're not physically with
our Christian brothers and sisters, we're still part of His family. I have
Christian friends whom I rarely see in person, but who pray for me and love me.
As I do them.
And know, even if I don't see you often, I pray for you!
What a wonderful gift!
