A note from Helen
Paul’s letter to the Ephesians contains some good ‘down to earth’ practical advice on how they should live their lives. And it is advice that is good for us to hear, and follow, too. He starts by telling them there should be no deceit or pretence in their relationship with each other. It is ok to be angry, but don’t let that anger be an excuse for behaviour that is not acceptable. Work honestly. Let your words be words that ‘build’ rather than ‘tear down’. Become ‘big-hearted’, compassionate, tolerant, forgiving. Model yourself on God – the God you have seen in Christ. All good advice, and when we explore our lives, we can ask ourselves whether or not we are becoming people who reflect this outlook on life.
