Use “Tools” that Will Change Lives

“This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God’s wonderful grace.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1:6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

These tools changed my life!  When I learned the rotary cutting method I be came an addict to quilting.  I'd dabbled in quilting.  Using my own method I created some primitive versions of quilts. Precise measuring and cutting produced better finished products.  As I've practiced the techniques, my quilts, to my amazement, come out the right size!

Tools are designed to change our lives, hopefully for the better.  Every TV commercial sells us the latest and greatest aid to better living   Commercialism preaches better living.

Today, Colossians 1: 6 reminds me that lives, mine and others, are to be changed, not for the better, but for the Best.

The Good News is the Best News. It not only betters lives, it saves lives. The Good News that Jesus loves us and has provided the opportunity to have a relationship with the everlasting and everloving God is truly life changing.

Paul reminds the Colossians they are tools and they have been  given tools to be tools   Word of their faith in Jesus and love for all God's people has been obvious.  The source of their love ad faith is their confident hope of their ultimate future destination, Heaven.(See verses 3-5 in chapter 1.)

So today, take inventory of your spiritual tool bag.  Is your faith in Jesus apparent to others?  Have you loved on someone in Jesus' Name? Be a "Tool" for Jesus... It will changes lives for the Best!
