Grace to you and peace

Grace to you and peace

" Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!" Colossians 1:2

What a salutation of love is this with which I am greeted this morning! What better desire for me could be expressed, than that I might receive grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ?
How precious are the blessings desired—Grace and Peace!
How glorious the source of them—God Our Father!
How inestimable the channel of communication—our Lord Jesus Christ!

O God, my Father, give me today an enlarged apprehension of Your love, and enable me to receive a rich supply of grace out of Your fullness in Christ. Increase my faith, enliven my hope, inflame my love, and fill me with Your Spirit!

Give me, O my Father, peace also—peace in my conscience through the precious blood of Christ; and peace of mind, tranquility of spirit, amidst all outward disturbances, by the indwelling of Your own Spirit. And so my soul shall be satisfied with Your favor, and I will praise You with joyful lips!

Back to Every Day!
