Colossians 2:7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. NIV Amen! Looking through bible verses this morning for strength, I thanked the Lord that He does not just make us and leave us alone. He wants to be in our lives. He wants us to seek Him out, pray to Him. To grow and show our (beauty) kindness, love, and to help others by encouraging them, every day.
