Rest – Colossians 2:2
|
I want you woven into a tapestry of love, in touch with everything there is to know of God. Then you will have minds confident and at rest, focused on Christ, God’s great mystery.
Colossians 2:2 (The Message)
My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ.
Colossians 2:2 (New International Version)
I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God’s mysterious plan, which is Christ himself.

If I were God,
would I have done things any differently?
In the mist of my creation,
would I have made beings,
who would worship me,
built into their souls?
I think not,
for love is only love,
when given freely.
It is not said,
that we are made in His image?
Would not His Love be the ultimate
universal love?
If we would give our life for the one we loved,
would God render any less,
in giving His life for us?
In God’s Love for us,
would enduring a day of pain,
be a fair exchange to insure that all those He loved,
would be with Him?
If you were God,
would you have done the same for me?
