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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clothe yourself in Christ\u2019s kindness today: compassionate hearts, humble attitudes, meek spirits, and long-lasting patience.&nbsp; Enjoy the blessings that come from wearing the right outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Journal Question:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">How can you clothe yourself in Christ today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Random Act of Kindness:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Who can you show compassion to today who desperately needs it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One-minute read.
