Philippians 1:1–2

We are one in the grace and peace of Jesus Christ. United by the power of Holy Spirit who will keep us safe until His return.

Micah 6:8 “He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God”

Philippians 1:1–2

1 Paul and Timothy, bondservants of Jesus Christ,

To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is our source of God's grace. John 1:14 tells us that Jesus was "full of grace and truth." Our salvation is rooted in this free gift of God's grace in Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 says: "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."  

    

Jesus gives us peace by reconciling us to God. Because Jesus accomplished all that was needed for our salvation, we have peace, knowing our salvation is secure and not dependent on our good works. Jesus' reconciling work also breaks down the walls that divide us from others, and He unites all who belong to Him. First5

Colossians 1:2 (ESV) "To the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father."    

Today. I am willing to do what I can, with what I have been given, with a full, grateful and willing heart.
I am willing to not worry about the outcome.
I am willing not to worry about what people think or say, or how acts of kindness will be measured in the court of public opinion.
I am willing to literally, let it be.
One snowflake at a time.

Here's the deal: our journey to wholeness and wholeheartedness is not about becoming something I am not. The journey is about reflecting what is already there. Inside. It is about making a difference, by just being you.
So, why are we afraid to let this be enough?
To know that, even as a single snowflake, there is enough. In fact, there is abundance, to know that one kind touch means the world.
You may doubt it if you wish. But know this, you still make a difference. Terry Hershey “SabbathMoments”

In his other prison epistles, Paul calls himself an apostle. In this letter he begins by giving the title of servant to Timothy and himself. It establishes Timothy, and Paul as individuals who demonstrate the same servantlike attitude that Christ had. Saints means “holy ones” (those who are separated to God) and refers to all the believers in Philippi. Paul combines the word grace with a Greek translation of the Hebrew greeting shalom, or peace. NKJ Bible.

While Paul refers to himself as an apostle in some letters, here he refers to himself as a doulos, or “slave,” of Christ. This description sets up Paul’s later remarks encouraging the Philippians to show humility—an attitude that Jesus Himself demonstrated. Faithlife Bible.
