5 articles of clothing


Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
- Colossians 3:12

I know that I am a child of God.
I think that I am good with compassion and kindness (maybe not so much humility, huh?) and gentleness, but patience . . . I struggle with that one.
A lot.
God wants us to have all five of those things, all five.
Compassion for the hurting.
Kindness for the lonely.
Humility about your own self.
Gentleness for the weak.
And patience, patience when dealing with others, and when waiting for answers.
Be one of God’s chosen people.
