CLOTHE YOURSELF WITH COMPASSION
Colossians 3:12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. (NIV)
The Bible instructs us to clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. In other words we should let these be evident in our lives. You can't say "I am clothed with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience." No! It's not by words. It's by action; it is what you minister to people.
What the Bible actually mean by our opening verse is that we should express compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience towards others. All of these are virtues with which we bless our world. And they are spiritual substance or unction that is inherent in our recreated human spirits.
You have compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience in you, give vent to them. Be compassionate; let your heart go out to people in need or challenged, and let your hand follow. Be kind; kindness is not only in words but action. Be open-handed, minister gifts in kindness.
Be humble, gentle and patience towards everyone. As you do these the glory of divinity will all the more be evident in your life. Expressing these is an expression of glory. Be compassionate, kind, humble, gentle and patience towards everyone.
CONFESSION
I am a partaker of God's divine nature and as such compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience are inherent in me, and I give expression to them, blessing my world, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
