Colossians 2:6-7 New International Version (NIV)
Spiritual Fullness in Christ
6 So then, just as you received in Jesus Christ as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, 7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
Since I didn't have my internet for awhile and had a women's conference this past weekend, my first one forever, if not in awhile, I've been thinking about Grace. While I was praying, last week, something came over me. "To have Grace is one way to be beautifully rooted in Christ." This thought came to me too because I was thinking about people that I needed to show Grace to. I want them to see that I am beautifully rooted in Christ.
I want a sign painted for me to hang in my apartment with those words on it. But back to the whole Grace thing. "Beautifully rooted in Grace" would be sweet. You get that as a gift and you give it has a gift. When you are able to give Grace, even to the hardest people, you are truly rooted in it. For women, it makes us look and act more beautifully. Add Grace to the Love talked about in the verse and you are more beautiful and the appearance of God then ever before. That saying can work as a theme and should in every area of life. I was even thinking my wedding shower or Bride's shower. What wait for then when we could be living it out now? You need to be living your life out where people can see you rooted and built up in Him. Even to help you get through all of the processes before marriage. When you are strengthen in faith and thankful in everything, then you are joyful and at peace with God and everything around you. You need to be full of Christ before you can get full of anything else or go onto anything else.
I guess you could say that this verse is a verse that I learned the meaning of this past weekend. Being a women and wife of God, you need to CONTINUE to live your life in Him. You can start living your life in Him as soon as you find a husband. You need God first and center of your life and then He will bring that husband to you if it is in His Plans for you. I like the word "continue" because it shows us that we should be doing it all the time. Not just here and there. That word is a powerful one in this verse. Going back to my phase that I am talking about on here, Beautifully rooted in Grace is just one way to live your life for Him and loving people is another way too.
It was also funny because I was thinking about my future baby girl and how neat it would be to decorate her room with that saying and nature/woodland theme. Most importantly, have her grow up with that thought already in her mind. Even have that verse for her from Colossians 2:6-7 as her verse.
Disclaimer: None of that is happening soon. Just in my dream land world. :)
There will be a poem in the next two weeks about this saying. I think it would make a beautiful one so I am going to try to write one.
