Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Reflections:-

Do you trust God in your life? Have you ever realised that on trusting Him, God fills you with joy and peace?
Also, upon trusting God, He overflows you with hope!
You truly need a lot of hope to face the challenges in life. So trust in Him.

Ephesians 2:17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.

Reflections:-

Peace was preached, and presented to you, by Jesus.
He gave you His peace in a personal way. It all depends on you whether to accept this peace or not.
Have you ever thought what this peace is all about? Have you ever tried to realise how peace makes a difference in your life?
The peace which Jesus gave you, is the peace which you are to give to others!

Colossians 3:12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Reflections:-

Are you clothed with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience?
Have you ever thought what a difference in your life it would make if you were clothed with these?
Have you ever thought that you are worthy to be clothed with these?
Know that you are loved by God, and through His Love you can be clothed in compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience... by Loving Him.

Colossians 3:13 “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”

Reflections:-

Have you ever thought of how important it is to forgive?
Have you ever thought that when forgiving you shall live more in peace?
When you forgive and make peace with someone, you will have a better relationship with the Lord, and with your neighbour.

1 Peter 5:7 “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you”.

Reflections:-

Have you ever thought what to do with your worries and anxieties of life? How many times have you tried to solve your problems, by your own strength?
Many times you failed, maybe you did not understand your failures; and because of this your worries and anxieties become heavier and heavier.
Have you ever thought of casting all your anxiety upon Him, the Lord? At least He cares for you, and knows what you are suffering from.
He is waiting to carry your anxiety, and set you free.
