Colossians 3:17

Avery is sick with some nasty bug, the doctor says her immune system is pretty much down for the rest of the year which wont be good for her. But at least she is a tough little girl. She also loves watching both Dancing with the Stars and Hannah Montana on Disney. Put those two together and im sure you know who ill be voting for :) Anyway lets get to the verse for today.

----------------------------------------------
Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

Colossians 3:17

Do all things according to the One who calls us by His Name. We are to live remembering that when we talk and when we act the very things we say and do are reflecting our Lord. He is in our hearts and when we were saved our image changed and now we are in His image. So now all things should be done in His name.

Our lives are to be an example to the world that there is an answer to pain and suffering. There is a hope and a life that can be found. He freely gives us grace and forgiveness. He shows us love and kindness. He also shows us discipline. We are never going to be able to fully reflect Him in all fullness, but there is a call to do so anyway. In all things we should show the world who He is, because this world does not really know Him.
