Nothing like Colossians to bring a down day up!

Today was a day when I just felt down.

Ever have those days?

They come when you least expect them; like after a really good day. And they come for no specific reason.

They steal your joy. They taunt you. They laugh in your face. They bring up all the things you want that you cannot have. They bring up all the things you have that you do not want. They take away your passion and energy.

Well, I was having one of those days until...

"For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."

"Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation.."

"In Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority. "

"God has made you alive in Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge for our legal indeptedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross."

"We are God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved..."

"And be thankful."

Okay, so my day is not so down anymore. :)
