Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. (Col 3:12 NIV)
In your prayer time, meditate on this verse. What word sticks out to you the most? How can you clothe yourself with these character traits? Which of these words describes you most? Least?
Pray that God will enable you to live the kind of life to which he has called you.
Honestly, the word that jumps out most for me is "chosen" -- I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the idea that God would have chosen someone like me.
ReplyDeleteNot sure which character trait describes me most, but "patience" surely describes me least. Yet that's not always true. It all depends on the context.
