If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
Colossians 3:1-4
Lord Jesus today I seek You and a life that is pleasing to You. I put behind me all of the allure and trappings of this world, reminding myself that it all shall soon pass away, and I look by faith towards the promise of eternity with You. Help me to daily sacrifice myself for the kingdom, loving the unlovable, forgiving the unforgivable, and giving grace to the ungracious. Remind me that such was I before You came into my life and changed my heart. Continue Your good work within me, transforming me daily, enabling me to more instinctively respond in a Christlike manner to the ills of this world and those consumed by the world’s values. Enable me to exude loving instead of hating, giving instead of hoarding, and merciful instead merciless. I am hidden in You. You are my life. Enable me to get out of the way and allow You to control every aspect of my being. In this You are glorified. I submit. Have Your way. Amen.
