Family Devo: Colossians 3

When partnering with your family to know, love, and follow Jesus, we strive to create and share content filtered by the Head-Heart-Hands model.   


Head: the knowledge of God and His Word | Heart: the personal connection from scripture | Hands: a missional mindset  

HEAD

In Colossians 3, we read about living the way the world lives versus living the way God calls us to live. Impurity, lust, evil desires, greed, anger, rage, malice, and slander are part of living like the world. You may want to listen to the world or be a part of gossip and sin, but Colossians 3 tells us that when you have Jesus in your heart, you want to live differently. With Jesus, you have compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience! You are capable of forgiveness and love. Verse 17 is one of my all-time favorite verses in the Bible: “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”

HEART

Do you hold forgiveness and love in your heart? How are you able to show the love of Jesus this week? There are multiple ways that Jesus showed His love to us, and there are so many ways that you can show someone the love of Jesus. For example, you can help someone with schoolwork or you can share an extra pencil when someone needs one to borrow.

HANDS

Prayer: Lord, help me have a forgiving heart and have love and compassion towards people. I pray that I have the opportunity to show someone the love of Jesus this week. Amen.
