Colossians 2:8-9 (NLT) – Don’t let anyone capture you with
empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and
from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. For in Christ lives all the fullness of God
in a human body.

If you want to know God, you need
only look to Jesus who embodies all the
fullness of God. So think about it. From all the stories you know about Jesus,
how would you describe Him? Jot down a
list of words. Yes, actually do it.

I’ll remind you of a few stories to
get the juices flowing: talking with the
rabbis at age 13, turning water into wine (the first miracle), feeding the
5000, teaching the sermon on the mountainside, many healings, calling fishermen
and tax collectors to be his disciples, eating with sinners, defending the
woman caught in adultery, tipping the tables over in the temple marketplace, and
many more including the crucifixion.

Spend a few minutes to plant a quick Seed. Or stay longer and plant a whole garden.
What a wonderful reminder of Christ and Our Creator! Thank you for sharing! We so easily get caught up in this world's philosophies. It tries its best to creep into our lives doesn't it?!
When I think Jesus I think unconditional love and acceptance.
