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
Someone posted this on Facebook. It really took hold of my heart today.This is one of the most beautiful passages I know of in the Bible. Paul knew so much whereof he wrote, after being forgiven and accepted in Christ, by the very people he had been persecuting.
Of all those in my life, and there have been many, that I have been thoughtless, uncaring, ungrateful or unloving toward, I ask forgiveness.
I have been forgiven so much by the Lord. He has bathed me in His ocean of Mercy. What a Savior we have in Christ!
I am going to post this passage where I can see it every day. I am going ask for the Grace to live as Paul instructed. Going forward in Love. Clothing myself in compassion.
It's a daily challenge, but he only asks us to get through a day at a time.
Starting today....
