We Are Built Up In Christ

[Pilgrim]

Our Father who art in heaven, Glory to God who knew us before we were born, who knew us before the foundations of the world. Praise God for the life He creates and the life he gives and sustains. Praise God for the life abundant in Christ we enjoy by His grace and mercy. Thank God for the gift of salvation through the Only Begotten Son. Thank God for the gift of faith that we might seek the Son and have love and trust in God through obedience to Word. Glory to the Son of God who became the Son of Man, and walked among us, whose life, crucifixion, death and burial, and resurrection took on the entire sin of the world for us. Glory to God for Christ Jesus who is risen on the third day and ascended bodily unto heaven. Thank God that we might have that salvation through Jesus and our hearts might be comforted by the Holy Spirit and bathed in God's love. Glory to God. Amen.

A daily prayer that our "hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love." (Colossians 2:1-2)

When we honor and obey God's word, when we love and trust God, when we have faith in God... we are one in the spirit, we are one in the LORD. We are a friend of the LORD, and other's will know we are Christians by our love.
