There's a new devotional resource I am previewing and I want to share part of today's scripture reading with you. It comes from Colossians 3:14 TM.
"Dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It's your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it. Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other. None of this going off and doing your own thing."
God has designed the garment of love so that it fits each of us perfectly. The challenge is to get in shape and stay in shape so that we wear it well. If you are like me you may have trouble spots that need some work. Today I am going to focus on "quiet strength" and "even-tempered".
What about you?
May we seize the opportunities we have to grow in grace today. May this day move us closer to being more like Jesus I pray. Amen.
