Put on Virtue (Colossians 3)
That is, unless you're two, in which case, someone chose for you. But most of us got to decide what clothes to put on. In the Bible, in Colossians 3 we're told to "Put on compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, patience, and above all, love." You decide to wear these virtues as you go throughout your day and in so doing, reflect Jesus to your friends, family, and the world. It might not feel natural at first, but the more you wear these clothes, the more naturally they fit.

Ron: Well, that is, unless you’re two, in which case, someone chose for you. But most of us got to decide what clothes to put on. In the Bible, in Colossians 3 we’re told to “Put on compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, patience, and above all, love.” You decide to wear these virtues as you go throughout your day—and in so doing, reflect Jesus to your friends, family, and the world.
Now, it might not feel natural at first, but the more you wear these clothes, the more naturally they fit. So, go on. Take them off the hanger for heaven’s sake. Get dressed. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
