Colossians 3: 12-15
And so, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on [clothe yourself with] a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you forgive.
And beyond [above, on top of] all these things put on Love [Agape, unconditional Love], which is the bond of unity.
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you have been called in one body; and be thankful.
What are you wearing today?
This is to be our clothes, the outfit we get dressed in every day. Our "uniform" as Christians.
Like underwear, our heart of compassion gives the foundation to all the rest of the outfit. Then we put on all the pieces of clothing that make up our outfit: the kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forbearance and forgiveness are our; blouse/shirt, pants/skirt, belt, socks, shoes, vest, sweater, wrap; all the pieces that make up the outfit we're wearing today.
Then on top of it all, we put on the overcoat, that ties everything together and completes our outfit for going out: unconditional Love, the Love God loves us with.
And living out all these virtues will also produce the peace of Christ, that releases us of all the cares and worries of the World.
Dress for success, in the wardrobe God provides.
And let's not forget to thank Him for every detail of every blessing He continually blesses us with every day, from the riches of His glory and the bounty He put into this Earth.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
