Clothed in Kindness

One-minute read.

Each morning, as I look in my closet, I have multiple outfits to choose to wear.  Yesterday, I started the day with a pink dress, one of my favorites.  But then I realized the long t-shirt with ruffles at the bottom had a spot in the middle of the chest, common for me, as I often spill things on myself while eating.  So I changed into a different, longer dress and decided I didn’t like the frumpiness of it.   Finally, I settled on blue shorts and a tank top, which I wore the rest of the day.  Three outfits in one day, talk about living an entitled life.  Thank You, Lord, for the clothes in my closet.

Most people have choices about what they wear each day, but not all.  As Christ’s followers, we must choose to clothe ourselves in His attire.  No matter how many outfits fill our closets, we only have one decision to make when it comes to Jesus: do or don’t.  Throughout our day, just like I did yesterday, we may change our outfits. Thankfully, we have a Savior who understands our human frailties and welcomes us back with open arms each time we put on a different attire.

Clothe yourself in Christ’s kindness today: compassionate hearts, humble attitudes, meek spirits, and long-lasting patience.  Enjoy the blessings that come from wearing the right outfit.
