Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering. — Colossians 3:12 KJV
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. — Colossians 3:12 NIV
Thought and Reflection
“Can’t help thinking about what I’ll have to wear to that gathering?” Paul advises us that there is a bunch of clothing that is generally in style. We wear this clothing since we are extraordinary. This clothing is from the Ultimate Designer’s collection called character and is best worn when with others.
These characteristics are difficult to wear, however generally a gift to those who meet us when we’re decked out in this closet.
My Prayer
Our Father, thank You for bringing me into Your family. May I never dishearten You in the manner I treat others. May they find in me, the characteristics of character that must be ascribed to Your presence in my life. To You be the glory and the honor, for all eternity. In Jesus name. Amen.
