So, as God’s own chosen people, who are holy [set apart, sanctified for His purpose] and well-beloved [by God Himself], put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience [which has the power to endure whatever injustice or unpleasantness comes, with good temper];
COLOSSIANS 3:12 AMP
Glory be to God for the gift of a brand new day, praise and adoration be unto His holy name.
Today’s scripture forms part of an admonition from Apostle Paul to the church to put on the new self as believers. This means that you can be born again but will not show forth these virtues.
The call therefore is on us who have been sanctified and set apart by the Lord to clothe ourselves with these virtues so that we can stand for God no matter what wind blows towards us.
As a beloved child of God therefore put on the heart of compassion. Let kindness, humility and patience be engraved in your life so that you can stand for Christ even in the face of trials and tribulations.
May the Lord who has separated us unto Himself enable and empower us to be clothed appropriately in His virtues to endure the challenges of this world. Help us Lord in Jesus Mighty name.
