Gladder, If You Please

Col.3:12-14

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, 

put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;

 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, 

if anyone has a complaint against another; 

even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 

14 But above all these things put on love, 

which is the bond of perfection.

No matter what happens, we are accountable

for our response...

thus, this little Sabbath Prayer...

God, make me gladder, if you please

To ‘do unto the least of these’

With generous humility

Remembering, it is to Thee

Then, with kinder heart, soul and mind

May I life's perfect purpose find

To love Thee, Lord, above all else

And then my neighbor as myself

Amen

As today's bud unfolds

may we remember we will bring its flower

back to the One who gave it

God bless you today!

Matt.25:40

And the King shall answer and say unto them,

 ‘Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it

 unto one of the least of these My brethren, 

ye have done it unto Me.’
