Clothed in Compassion
“Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.”
The world teaches us to dress for success, but God tells us to dress in compassion. Every day is an opportunity to reflect Christ to others - not just in what we say, but in how we treat them. Mercy, kindness, and humility are not signs of weakness; they are marks of strength under the Spirit’s control. Ask God today to help you wear His love like a garment and reflect it everywhere you go.
Reflection
Who can you extend compassion or kindness to today?
