Do you ever get up in the morning and not know what to wear? Well Col 3:12-14 gives us a few suggestions! Verse 12 begins in many translations with the words “clothe yourselves with…...”, so let’s see what we are supposed to wear.

1. Tenderhearted mercy (or compassion). That’s not just feeling sorry for someone but doing something about it.

2. Kindness or “goodness in action”. Kindness is a fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22,23).

3. Humility or “a deep sense of one’s littleness”.

4. Gentleness or being able to keep your emotions under control, another fruit of the Spirit).

5. Patience or extending forbearance with people that try your patience, another fruit of the Spirit.

6. Forgiveness – enough said!

7. “Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony” (Col 3:14; NLT). In other words, the most important thing we need to wear is love. Agape, God’s unconditional, sacrificial love.

If we make a decision to wear these clothes every day, we will always look beautiful!
