Colossians 3:12
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Straight up, you are holy and dearly loved.
Before you do any good thing or take on any good virtue, you have already been chosen, you are already holy and you are already dearly loved.
In the great knowledge of knowing that you are absolutely in the right shape, you are able to check out your wardrobe so you can look your best.
Don’t you just love it when you find the perfect outfit for the occasion? I’m just a guy, but even I have to admit that when I put on something that looks good, I’m like, That’s what I’m talking ’bout!
Well, the believer looks great when they put on the clothing that fits them perfectly. That clothing happens to be the same clothing that Jesus wore (Romans 13:14). Obviously not His physical clothes - I don’t know how’d we’d go with a girdle and tunic - but the great way that He interacted with the world around Him.
Jesus freely lived His life of love because He knew He was the beloved of God – and we can do the same!
Prayer for this week: Father, your great love has shown me the way. Thank you for transforming me and aligning me with the truth. In my quest to live a life of love, I pray that your favour is awakened in me so that I bring favour into my world.
