Let peace control our hearts

Colossians 3:12-15

12 Therefore, God’s chosen ones, holy and loved, put on heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, 13 accepting one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a complaint against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive. 14 Above all, put on love—the perfect bond of unity. 15 And let the peace of the Messiah, to which you were also called in one body, control your hearts. Be thankful.

Point to ponder:  Let us just take some time this week to intentionally put Paul's advice in these verses to practice.  Ask yourself how, where, to whom can I intentionally show compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience?  Who do I need to forgive and accept as a brother in Christ?  How can I 'put on the love of Christ and where and in which situations should I let the peace of Messiah control my heart?  How about thankfulness?  What can I be thankful for - let's be intentional about these things and make it a lifestyle, not an isolated event.
