“…put on tender mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection” Colossians 3:12b-14.
“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.” Colossians 3:15.
“Let no one defraud you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase which is from God.” Colossians 2:18-19.
“And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and irreproachable in His sight…” Colossians 1:21-22.
The framework of this post comes from a book titled, “The Timetables of History”, by Bernard Grun, published by Simon and Schuster. Some of this framework has been fleshed out to help the reader understand the content easier.
The above book quotes Henry David Thoreau (whom they refer to as an American philosopher-idler) as saying: “Time is but the stream I go fishing in.”
