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 one another if
any of you has a grievance against someone. 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, NIV
You are chosen. Before you did anything to earn it, before you even knew Him,
God chose you and called you His beloved. That's where your identity begins—in
His unshakable love. Because we're so deeply loved, we're invited to clothe ourselves in
compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. These aren't just traits to aspire to.
They're the natural outflow of hearts transformed by His grace.
As you walk through your day, let His love shape the way you interact with others.
Show grace when it's hard. Be patient when it feels impossible. Choose forgiveness,
not because people deserve it, but because Jesus has forgiven you more than you could ever repay.
And over all of this put on love. Why? Because love ties it all together.
Love is what makes compassion sincere, kindness genuine, and forgiveness complete.
It's the glue that binds us together and reflects God's heart to the world.
You don't have to be perfect to live out this calling. You just need to rest in God's love.
Letting Him fill you so fully that it overflows to everyone around you. You are chosen,
loved, and equipped for this beautiful life He's called you to. Keep going. You're making a difference.
