Dear Shelly
What stood out to me when I read your verse today is how Paul mentioned how the Colosians needed to be built up in Jesus like they were INSTRUCTED! I find this instrction very absent in modern evangelical teachings. If we are built up in our faith, thanksgiving becomes as natural as breathing!

So true, Mia! Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God! Thanks for stopping by today! Heart Hugs, Shelly <3
My prayer is that as others see the hope I have in God, they will long to draw closer to Him themselves! Our lives are a living testament to a faithful and loving God!
Blessings, Joan

Shelley – You shared one of my favorites from Point of Grace 🙂 I love the verse that you shared also. May we remember that we have been “instructed” to be rooted in Him and grow in Him and be established in Him & overflow with gratitude. Beautiful! May God bless you & grow your linkup as we all come to express gratitude & encouragement!
Blessings,
Joanne
