As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. (Colossians 3:12-15, NRSV)
You’ve heard it said, “Dress for Sucess.” Or dress for the job you want, not the job you have…
But here the epistle writer to the Colossians says to clothe yourself with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.
Be compassionate to everyone.
Be kind to all people.
Be humble all the time.
Be meek in all of your dealings, and don’t be haughty.
In everything have patience.
Can you imagine if we all dressed this way?
