Reading: Colossians 3:12-13; Luke 6:35-36
Devotional: God calls us His "chosen, holy, and beloved"—then immediately tells us how to dress. Not in physical clothes, but in compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. These aren't natural responses; they're supernatural garments we put on daily. Compassion means feeling someone's pain even when they're difficult. Kindness initiates generosity before determining if someone deserves it. Patience endures irritation without retaliation. This is only possible when we remember how God has treated us. Jesus looked at His executioners and said, "Father, forgive them." If He can show that mercy, we can extend patience to the coworker who annoys us or kindness to the family member who hurt us. Who is God calling you to show compassion toward today? What would it look like to initiate kindness first?
