Colossian Challenge: let the word of Christ dwell in you richly

There's that little permissive word, "let" again....
If I wonder about what "word of Christ" i might need in me, it might go back several weeks to the Peace of Christ....yet that might be a feel-good cop-out.  When I hear Jesus say a word, it's usually more challenging than peaceful, shattering my deeply cherished perceptions...perhaps a word like, "You give them something to eat", when I am bemoaning social inequity......or "do not worry" when there is such anxiety around us.....or"the gate is narrow and the road hard that leads to life" when I have worked hard to have an 'easy' life.
what word of Christ resonates or challenges you?
