I want you to know how much I struggle for you, for those in Laodicea, and for all who haven’t known me personally. My goal is that their hearts would be encouraged and united together in love so that they might have all the riches of assurance that come with understanding, so that they might have the knowledge of the secret plan of God, namely Christ. All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in him. I’m telling you this so that no one deceives you with convincing arguments, because even though I am absent physically, I’m with you in spirit. I’m happy to see the discipline and stability of your faith in Christ. (Colossians 2:1-5, CEB)
The author of Colossians wrote: “My goal is that their hearts would be encouraged and united together in love”
So that:
they might have riches of assurance that come with understanding…
they might have knowledge of God’s plan…
The goal is our hearts are encouraged and united in love.
Know every day:
You are enough.
You are loved.
You matter in this world.
You are a gift and treasure to the world around you just as you are.
Be united with all humanity in love.
Share love and encourage others.
Loving People. Loving God.
