As we grow in our faith and listen for the voice of Jesus, the
changes begin from the inside out. What are some of the attributes that begin
to shine through us as we delve deeper into our faith? Listen to these verses.
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
God, through Jesus,
has forgiven me so very much. How about you? As we soak in His love and His
mercies that are new every morning, we can give others the benefit of the doubt.
In addition, we can remind ourselves, that unbelievers have not experienced
this great love.
Put on the spiritual
clothes of forgiveness, kindness, humility, compassion and patience. And above
all, love. We are representing the One who died for us. The perfect man, the
perfect God.
Lord,
Give us the strength to be different in the culture around that
appears to be filled with hate and violence. Shine through us as we maneuver
through these short lives. Work in us to make us into Your image.
In Jesus name,
Amen
