Colossians 3:12

We all have our morning routine, right? One of the things that we must decide each day is what we are going to wear. Closets, drawers, and sometimes dirty clothes hampers (for us guys anyway) are assessed and the days’ clothing is chosen.

Before Jesus caused our spirits to be born anew in Him, attending to our material-bound selves was our only concern. But we have been changed by the power of God, and we now have a spiritual wardrobe just waiting to be chosen and worn. Tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, and longsuffering are Godly traits that are given freely to each believer to express, but if we don’t make a conscious effort to put them on, they will continue to just hang there unworn and unused.

Lord, thank You for reminding me to put on the holy qualities each day that express your heart within and through mine. May each of us look to you and your inspired word to grow us and change us every single morning.
