Clothe yourself with kindness 🎀 #christianliving #modesty #OOTD #kindness

I love that Paul uses the language of clothing to talk about the new self in Colossians 3: we are to “put on” compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, patience, forgiveness, and love.

Putting on clothes isn’t something you do once, it’s something you do daily. It’s necessary to get ready for the day. And in the same way, if we are to be ready to live each day as God has called us to, we must choose PUT ON the new self and choose to PUT OFF the old self: anger, wrath, malice, slander, obscene talk—even when these things feel a lot easier to default to.

This means getting armored up—praying God’s Word over our days, our minds, our reactions, our decisions. And continuing to saturate our minds in His Word throughout the day. When we put on the “new self,” then just like a uniform, what we wear indicates to the world around us to WHO we belong. 🤍
