Paul tells us in Colossians that since God has loves us, we must clothe ourselves in with tender-hearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

He asks us to make allowances for each other’s faults and forgive those who offend us.  When we remember how much the Lord has forgiven us, it’s easier to forgive others.

And we must clothe ourselves with love which gives us harmony.  Then the peace that comes from Christ will rule in our hearts.

Paul reminds us to always be thankful and to let the rich message of Christ fill our lives.

We need to use wisdom in talking with each  other.  With thankful hearts, we sing psalms and spiritual songs.

And all that we do reflects upon Jesus.  We are his representative.

Thank you, dear Father.  Will you please help make this passage true in our lives.
