Col 3:14  "And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony." 

This is above everything love of God which is the only way to be filled with love for others, neighbors, brothers, sisters and enemies. Only God's love in us allows us to actually love others. He is Absolute Love. 

I want you to know that when you are folded into God's family, your family grows and grows. God is your Daddy, The Father. His love enfolds you. Jesus is your big brother, He cares for you and comes to your side in times of need. He is all powerful, He is Absolute Love, He would do anything for you but leave you, except to leave you in rebellion and in the wrath of the Father. He brings renewal and life, He is Yahweh. 

Many other faithful brothers and sisters will be there, look to them and love them. Work with them, suffer with them, pray and worship with them. Grow up together and challenge one another to grow and mature in Christlikeness, in love.


Col 4:7-17  "Tychicus will tell you all about my activities. He is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord.  I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts, and with him Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you of everything that has taken place here. Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions--if he comes to you, welcome him), and Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me. Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God. For I bear him witness that he has worked hard for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis.  Luke the beloved physician greets you, as does Demas. Give my greetings to the brothers at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house. And when this letter has been read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea. And say to Archippus, "See that you fulfill the ministry that you have received in the Lord." 

I am writing this to you in my own hand writing. I am not dictating this, even though I am tied to chains, imprisoned by men but free in Christ Jesus. My love is not diminished, may God give you grace to be filled with His love in all circumstances. 

Col 4:18  "I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you."
