Put on some clothes . . please!Col. 3:12
PUT ON THEREFORE, [clothe yourselves accordingly]
as the elect of God, [God's own chosen representatives]
[who are] holy and beloved. [have been freed from the defilement of sin through Jesus Christ and are adored by God Himself]
[PUT ON behavior marked by:]
MERCY [tenderhearted compassion],
KINDNESS [tender, sincere, and abundant mercy put into action],
HUMBLENESS OF MIND [attributing all we have, and are, to the grace of God],
MEEKNESS [self-control by submitting to the will of God], and
LONG-SUFFERING [patience which is tireless having the power to endure whatever comes, with good temper].
----------------------
Pray the Word:
Lord, in our inner life and attitude we may not be COMPLETELY NAKED . . but, maybe, we need to take a look at WHAT WE’RE REALLY WEARING – unforgiveness, thoughtlessness, pride, lack of self-control, and/or impatience. Since we are Your chosen representatives, we want to DRESS OURSELVES ACCORDINGLY. We determine in our hearts, and ask for the power from Your Holy spirit, to CLOTHE OURSELVES with compassion, kindness, humility, self-control and patience.

Thank you for reading my blog of thoughts, encouragement and instructions the Lord speaks about to me. It is simply my therapy to write down these things as I walk my journey out with Him. I would love to hear back from you. Each new day is a blessing! Dorothy
