Karlyn - Colossians 1

S - Vs 11, 22 We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need.  May you be filled with joy.
22 - Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body.  As a result he has brought you into his own presence and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.

O - If I were to get up every morning and say to myself I get to be strengthened by God's glorious power and given endurance, patience, and joy - WOW what a different attittude to have!  Instead I dread most days the night before I go to bed.
Holy and blameless without a single fault...God sees ALL believers in this light.  I've been redeemed, he's already taken the sin, now I stand holy and blameless without fault because of Christ. 

A - Attitude change this am - I get to live in God's Glorious Power and the endurance patience and joy I need to get through the day is in that power!  And as I daily confess my sins to him I realize and live out that I'm already holy and blameless I can't be better or be good to win his favor, it's already done. 

P - Thank you God that I don't have to rely on my own endurance and patience.  I choose JOY today in you.  Please help me to stop all negative thoughts and replace it with your JOY.  Help me to show unbelievers around me that we can't do anything to be holy or sinless except give our lives to you.  Thank you for a new day!
