Dressed in Kindness
3 min read · Grace
Colossians 3:12-13
Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.
Some mornings we choose what to wear without thinking about what we will carry into the room. Paul says compassion, kindness, humility, and patience can be put on like clothing. They are chosen on purpose, especially when someone has made it hard. Think of one person who tests you. Today, wear patience toward them as an act of obedience, and trust God with the rest.
Today’s prayer
Lord, clothe me in your kindness. Make me patient with those I find hard to love. Amen.
