\n“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”<\/em>
\nColossians 3:16 NKJV<\/p>\n
\nA Graceful Heart would be full of God’s word. It would be actively sharing the gospel with others. It would be eager to share with other believers the scripture and truth it has learned. It would be so full of gratitude for the favor God has shown it would be singing to the Lord daily. A Graceful Heart is certainly something to be desired.<\/p>\n
\nDear Lord,
\ntoday I ask that You create in me a Graceful Heart so the word of Christ can dwell in me richly in all wisdom, then I will be able to share the gospel with those I meet daily.<\/p>\n
\nI want others to see that Your grace dwells in my heart and then I want to extend that grace that You have given so freely to me to others that I meet and know.<\/p>\n
