Take a moment to consider what it means to have the Spirit of God dwell with us, in us! It is an immense concept and truth. Our belief in Jesus as God's Son, God's deposit of His Spirit in us to protect and seal us as His own, creates a bond, a preservation of holiness within us and with Him. May we honor our relationship with God's grace and love toward us.

Listen to Jesus' prayer, His honest appraisal of His relationship with Father God and His deep love for His disciples and for us! His heart is so transparent that we feel a hush in the room, even though we weren't there at the time. How amazing it is for us to realize He had developed the same heart for His followers and the world as His Father has. Is that not, the heart we are to ask for?

To be chosen by God! What an honor, what a responsibility, and indeed we called for both. By faith, by hope we leave our nets and follow the Man who can see who we will become – for we shall be like Him, those who hold no record of wrong, who are gentle, kind and rely on God to work within us this life-transforming image of His Son, Jesus.

The first section of the third chapter of Colossians tells us about our identity. These verses instruct us as to how we should live. As God's children, as those who have His character within us, His virtues are our virtues. God's way of responding in love, demonstrating how to love, is our mandate as well. Prayerfully engage God in your day, asking Him to be love through you to those who are hard to love, who need to be loved, who will see love only as you love them.

Whether we have spent much time thinking about it or not, as God's children, we add flavor wherever we go. Our interactions are the sprinklings of God's grace, spiritual and eternal blessings to grace the lives of the lonely, the sad ones, and those who are burdened. We don't often know who they are. We are just to be a savory moment that makes their day a little better.

It is 'in' Jesus that we are empowered by His Spirit, and find out who we are and why we are here. To remain in Him, to be known by Him, to find purpose, and life - that is our destiny. Consider what being 'in Jesus' really means to you as you listen today.

Our attitudes direct our thoughts which direct our actions. When we think about how God cares for us, that He takes care of us, we are able to change our attitudes and actions. As you listen today, let God’s care for you be the focus of your thoughts and you will find a gentle and growing strength in you for the day.

So what comes to mind when you try to think about "what is authentic and true?" Someone's word, their promise? We constantly assess the truth of another's statement. Do we transfer those questions of whether the words are true to God as well? Perhaps we need to look closely at His promises and trust He indeed does speak truth in love. Always.

God has given us His peace, His righteousness and has reconnected us to Him. His intention is for there to never be a separation or break in our relationship. And it is so. He keeps this relationship. We experience by our choice to do so – every moment. Think about this as you listen today.

In his letter to the Philippians, Paul wrote, Keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real. Controlling our thoughts is key to our perception of God's kingdom. We don't control its existence, only our experience of it. Focusing on what is true, what is real, what is authentic positions us to see, really see God at work in a world that sees only the physical realm. There is more to living, more to life and we're invited to join God in living to the fullness of our purpose.
