1 Kings 20 & 21; 2 Chronicles 17; Colossians 3

I am passionate about what God could do in people IF there were a commitment to seeking Him always through time, time spent listening to Him, time spent in His word ~ NOT for knowledge but for the birth of His passions placed in us. I don't know much .......what I feel.....I want people to know YOU, to allow themselves to be FOUND by the amazing LOVE YOU OFFER. And in that love, You place in us the desire to love others, to figure out how we fall short in that loving and to allow YOU to guide us more and more into wanting to LOVE more than needing love....Geesh....what God could do ??, who do I think I am???

I got to spend time this morning with 3 gorgeous young women,hearts wide open to You, to people who desire to point them to You, to reading and journaling with others and being explored. IT'S a beyootiful thing.

Colossians 3: 12 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. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

put on love...to do that I gotta Colossians 3: 1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

And because of Him I can......at least that's a desire of my heart.....
