Growing In Christ

[Pilgrim]

So Walk Ye In Jesus

6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. —Colossians 2:6-7 (KJV)

Bless you 'pilgrim',for your kind comments. This hymn was taught to me by a 95 year old father in the faith and I have never forgotten it.

Quietbloke, Bless you and your father. (Proverbs 9:11) The song is a blessing.

Good news to report:

Growing in Christ

1) now doing a daily devotional when never could stick to it before 'cept by happenstance

2) praying in the morning without thinking about it

3) Caught myself actually praying with my hands clasped together while walking down the street! I did this without thinking about it or pre planning it or saying to myself "I've got to pray." I just did it as a natural thing....like breathing!

 

[quietbloke]

To grow in the Lord. Live in relationship to Him each day. Feed on His Word. Commune with Him in prayer Fellowship with other believers in Bible based church. Witness for Him to others. Seek to be filled with His Holy Spirit each day.
