Tag: built up in Christ

So then, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to walk in him…overflowing with gratitude. (Colossians 2:6-7)

For some reason, those last words really grabbed my heart.

“Overflowing with gratitude.”

Does that describe me?

Not living my Christian life out of obligation.

But living my Christian life out of sheer gratitude for what Jesus did for me.

Gratitude will keep me rooted in Jesus. I’ll want to be built up in him. I’ll want my faith in him to be firmly established.

Father, let me never get blasé about my relationship with you. Let my Christian life never become a drudgery. But let me always walk with you each day overflowing with gratitude. In Jesus’ name, amen.
