To the holy and faithful...Colossians 1:1 - 14

To the holy and faithful
be grace and peace.
For the holy and faithful
we thank God.
In the holy and faithful
faith and love spring from hope.

Hope in Heaven, waiting.
Hope on earth, already heard in the word of truth.

To the holy and faithful
good news has come.
From the holy and faithful
the good news is growing.
In the holy and faithful
the good news produces good,

God's good gift
of grace understood.

And so...

we do not stop praying for you.
we keep asking God to fill you
with knowledge of His will
through spiritual wisdom
through godly understanding.

So that...

you and I may live worthy lives
you and I may live Jesus-pleasing lives.
you and I may give Him pleasure.
you and I may produce good results in everything we do.
you and I may grow in knowledge.
you and I may be strengthened with power, GOD's mighty power.
you and I may have endurance
you and I may have patience
you and I may give THANKS WITH JOY.

FOR YOU AND I ARE SAFE IN GOD'S KINGDOM.
RESCUED, REDEEMED, FORGIVEN!
