{pray}

"Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, 
compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 
bearing with one another and, 
if one has complaint against one another, forgiving each other; 
as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive. 
And above all these, put on love, 
which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 
And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body.
And be thankful. "
Colossians 3:12-15


Remember who you are. You are chosen by God. Holy and Beloved. 


Wear compassion, kindness, humility, meekness and patience like a garment. Everyone will see them. And if worn correctly, everyone will want to know where you got them.


Remember, you have been forgiven. You are commanded to go and do likewise. In responsive gratitude to your Forgiver, go and forgive another. 


Above all, wear love. Wrap it around your neck like a scarf. Wear it like perfume. Savor the harmony and be blessed by the beauty. 


Choose peace. Allow the overwhelming presence of God's peace to penetrate the anxious, sad and shamed recesses of your heart. 


Remember too that you have been called to be a part of a Body--a body of Christ and a body of believers. You have not been called to bear your burden alone. Reach out. Share the pain that you carry. Carry the pain of another today. Pray with someone before the sun sets.


Be thankful. Look for God in the smile of a stranger, the touch of a child or the embrace of a friend. Utter a quiet breath of thanks. 


Happy Friday!
