Think back to a relationship you’ve had with someone that was painful and needed serious attention? What were you doing that added fuel to the fire? What did you try to do to restore the relationship? What worked and what didn’t work? What does it take for two people to be reconciled to each other? God is in the business of reconciliation. It pleases Him to initiate our reconciliation to Him in the person of His Son,whom He loves,and in whom all His fullness dwells. Paul weaves a very tight rationale for that reconciliation and its place in a life that pleases Him in every way. We have been taking Colossians 1 apart, piece by piece, to help us grasp and apply its depth, and that relationship that He so wants for us to have with Him.Consider today the wonder of a reconciled life
