Because my life is being renewed in the image of my Creator, I need a new wardrobe. The things that felt comfortable in my old life, before I became a child of the King of kings, are out of place and out of style.
Colossians 3:5-11 characterized my life before Christ and without the control and discipline of Christian living.
Colossians 3:12-24 characterize how I can live because of Christ.
Because I am chosen by God and dearly loved by Him, I can clothe myself in these virtues:
- Compassion
- Kindness
- Humility
- Gentleness
- Patience
- Forgiveness
- Love
- Unity
- Peace
- Thankfulness
- Singing
- Gratitude
This upgraded wardrobe is much more fitting for a daughter of the King. My grandmother always said, "Pretty is as pretty does." I think these virtues would meet her criteria. I know I feel much more beautiful on the outside when I am thinking and behaving in beautiful ways on the inside. I'm certain my heavenly Father will approve of my new clothing. Which item(s) are you adding to your wardrobe?
