"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 whatever grievances you may have against one another. 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
When choosing an outfit for a special occasion, we try on many combinations. We go to great lengths to make sure what we step out of our closet wearing shows our best foot forward. Our goal for clothing ourselves is to choose something which both flatters and feeds into our confidence.
Spiritually speaking, we sometimes shop from the wholesale garment rack. This rack, compliments of Satan, tempts us to choose the garments of pain, anger, resentment and bitterness. The garment of love never hangs on this rack for love takes time, patience, gentleness and forgiveness. Love will always cost more and will never be attained through cheap imitations.
Your garments are based on the choices that make you up as a person. The wonderful things about clothes is you can always discard the old and put on the new. The clothing of love comes at a price that we do not have to pay. It has already been paid and His name is Christ.
