What are you wearing today?

The Apostle Paul instructed us in the Book of Colossions, chapter 3, to put on “love.” Interesting way of putting it. We can actually put on love. It’s almost like putting on a shirt. We know how we want to dress on any given day or occasion. We can also decided to put on love. It’s a decision, not just an emotion. The Lord put on love when He hung on the cross for you and me. He now instructs us to put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering and love. This is something we must do. He showed us how. Now it’s our turn. The world will put on hate, racism, bad attitudes, envy, greed, favoritism, and the like. What will differentiate us in this day is what we “put on.” I have a question for you, what are you wearing today?

Colossians 3: 14-15 “But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful”.

Could you comprehend this love?

The Scriptures declare that without faith, we cannot please God (Hebrews 11:6). Faith is a necessary component of our walk with God. However, the Scriptures also state the Faith works by love (Galations 5:6). So as important as faith is, without love, our faith is powerless. 1 Corinthians 13:13 states “And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love”. God loves us with an never-ending love. His love is perfect. His love reaches out to us even when we don’t realize it. In the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11), the Father had been waiting for His lost son, and had been wanting His son to return back home. When his son came back, defeated, dirty and smelling like pig food, the Father ran to him and hugged him. He restored His son back to His home and  authority. This parable describes God’s love for us. The Lord Jesus told us that when we pray, we should begin the prayer by saying “Our Father.” We are His children and He loves us more than we’ll ever know. Never forget, even in the midst of all your “busyness,” God, your Heavenly Father loves you and is waiting to fellowship with you. Never be too busy for your Heavenly Father!

Ephesians 2:4-6 “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus”
