You were formed for God’s Family

So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It’s your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it.

Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other. None of this going off and doing your own thing. And cultivate thankfulness. Let the Word of Christ—the Message—have the run of the house. Give it plenty of room in your lives. Instruct and direct one another using good common sense. And sing, sing your hearts out to God! Let every detail in your lives—words, actions, whatever–be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way. Colossians 3:12-17 (The Message)

Thanks to Amanda, Melinda, and Kim for preparing and sharing this week. One of the main goals at XStream is to help you build solid relationships with other believers. Our hope is that you will make a few key connections that will push you toward God. We need each other. God created us with a need for true community. We believe that XStream can be that kind of place, a place where trust is fostered, where people can love an be loved unconditionally, where real sharing can take place. Are you in? What will you do to help us get there?
