Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. - Colossians 3:12-14 Are these the attributes that you are putting on every day. Are you clothing yourself with compassion for those around you? Are you clothing yourself with kindness even when others aren't kind to you? How about humility? Gentleness? Patience? These aren't easy words to wear. They clash with your ego, and it can be easy to set aside these virtues to wear what everyone else is wearing. But you can't forget the most important one: LOVE! If you are clothing yourself with love, all the other ones will start to fall into place. When you show someone love, it's easier to show compassion and kindness and patience. When you show someone love, it's easier to be humble and gentle, and to forgive. In other words, love pulls the whole look together. Do you need to layer up today? I promise, love looks good on everyone!
