Good Morning Sunshine! You Were Knitted Together In Love!

Colossians 2:1-3 (NKJV) ~ “For I want you to know what a great conflict I have for you and those in Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh, that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”

The Apostle Paul’s heart cried out for a people he had never seen in the flesh. His concern wasn’t rooted in popularity or platform, but in spiritual unity, deep encouragement, and divine understanding. His burden remains relevant today, for the Church to become strengthened, united in love, and deeply rooted in the mystery of Christ. You are going to have to love each other.

When Paul wrote about believers being “knit together in love,” he wasn’t just describing social connection or friendly affection. He was describing a divine, Spirit-woven unity, a supernatural joining of hearts that reflects the very unity of the Trinity. Jesus Himself prayed in John 17:21, “that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You.” True unity is a powerful witness of Jesus Christ to a watching world.

In today’s divided climate, unity seems almost impossible. But Paul points you to the key: love! Plain and simple, Love! Not the shallow love of convenience or personal preference, but the agape love that comes from God and it empowers you to stay knitted together even when personalities clash and pressures rise. This kind of love is what strengthens the Body and positions you to receive the treasures of wisdom and knowledge found only in Jesus Christ.

Paul longed for the Church to not only be unified, but to also walk in the full assurance of His love and understanding, to be confident in what they know of God. This understanding doesn’t come through intellect or earthly reasoning. It is revealed through the Spirit. Proverbs 2:6 reminds you, “For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.” And 1 Corinthians 2:10 declares, “But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.”

So many people are searching today, for purpose, love, truth, healing, and direction. Yet Paul is telling you that the treasures that you are seeking, the answers, the healing, the hope, and the identity, are hidden in Jesus Christ, not from you but for you. They are revealed to the yielded heart, the hungry spirit, and the one who abides. Colossians 2:9 affirms, “For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” Christ is the image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15), and in Him you see, know, and experience the Father!

When you pursue understanding apart from Jesus, you may collect some facts, but you miss out on the truth that transforms you. But when you seek Him, you not only grow in knowledge, but you also grow in intimacy, discernment, and spiritual maturity. Ephesians 1:17–18 echoes this call: “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ…may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened…”

Let this be your prayer today: to be knitted together in love, grounded in Jesus Christ, and in the rich in revelation of who He is. The Church is not just a gathering of people; it is a tapestry of hearts woven together by God’s Grace. And the closer you are to Jesus Christ, the closer you come to one another!

Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You for the gift of unity and the treasure of divine wisdom found in Christ alone. Thank You that You have not hidden Yourself from us but have made Yourself known through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Today, I ask for a fresh revelation of who You are. Let me see beyond the surface and step into the deep things of God. Give me a heart that longs not just for answers, but for Your Presence. Father, knit me together in love with those around me. Heal what has been broken. Mend what has been torn. Let love be the thread that binds me to my brothers and sisters in Christ. Forgive me for the walls I’ve built and the offenses I’ve held. I lay them down at Your feet. Restore unity in my home, my relationships, my community, and the Body of Christ. Let me walk in the full assurance of understanding and not through my own prideful knowledge, but through humble revelation. Let my wisdom be rooted in the fear of the Lord. Guard me from deception. Make Your Word come alive in me. I declare that Jesus is the treasure I seek, and everything I need is hidden in Him. Father, I receive the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ. I ask You to enlighten the eyes of my heart. Fill me with discernment, clarity, and truth. And as I grow in You, let me use what I’ve received to serve and strengthen others. Let my life reflect the beauty of a heart knit together in Your love. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I pray,
Amen!

Blessings…
