Make it a new year for Him.

Colossians 3

(12-17, 22-24)

"So, as those who have been chosen of God, 

holy and beloved, 

put on a heart of compassion, 

kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; 

bearing with one another, 

and forgiving each other, 

whoever has a complaint against anyone; 

just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. 

Beyond all these things put on love, 

which is the perfect bond of unity. 

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, 

to which indeed you were called in one body; 

and be thankful. 

Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, 

with all wisdom 

teaching and admonishing one another 

with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, 

singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 

Whatever you do in word or deed, 

do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, 

giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

*

Slaves, in all things obey those who are your masters on earth, 

not with external service, as those who merely please men, 

but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. 

Whatever you do, 

do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, 

knowing that from the Lord 

you will receive the reward of the inheritance. 

It is the Lord Christ whom you serve. 

*
