3.12 (NIV) Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. |

| Anyone who spends time with the Lord will find it evidenced in his life.* |

A uniform identifies you with your employer. You are
representing your company when you wear their uniform. The uniform says
something about where you work and who you are. Or . . . it could simply be a
disguise. Displaying the company logo on your clothes isn’t enough to get you a
paycheck. You have to comply with company policy if you want to be a true member
of the team.
How well-dressed are we? I knew a girl in college who
was so modest that when you knocked on the door of her dorm room, she would not
open it until she was fully clothed – including shoes. Sometimes I wear the
proper spiritual garments but they’re not totally zipped and buttoned – they’re
just draped over me and in danger of exposing me at any moment. I occasionally
go about partially clothed, hoping that the wind doesn’t blow!
Perhaps you shouldn’t open the door until you are
wearing all of your spiritual clothes: compassion, kindness, humility,
gentleness, and patience. And make sure they are all properly fastened before
you do!
