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

- Colossians 3:12 (NIV)

I am horribly guilty of not always doing what is right, I am not always compassionate or kind, I have a mean streak - and we all know that I have a severe lack of patience. 

Most of my bad qualities come out when I am driving and when I am shopping – yes I am that person that judges you by your driving ability. 

Perhaps I am thinking about things wrong – it certainly would not be the first time. 

Compassion – if someone is driving like a maniac, maybe they are rushing due to an emergency. 

Kindness – in heavy traffic, we can let someone out at an intersection to keep traffic moving smoothly. 

Humility – knowing that we are not always right – not just in driving scenarios but in lots of situations. 

Gentleness – sometimes we just need to pat someone on the shoulder and be there for them, maybe they don’t need advice, just a presence. 

Patience – well, this one can be real in every minute of every day. 

I am a child of God.  

As His daughter, I need to work on my wardrobe.
