Now that’s a loaded question. The answer could be “yes”, even if you’ve got your jammies on, your swimsuit on or a 3-piece suit on.<\/p>\n

The fact is, we usually clothe ourselves according to the occasion.<\/p>\n

A t-shirt and shorts may mean a comfortable afternoon at home. A silky chiffon dress might mean a special night out. An athletic shirt and tights might mean you’re headed to the gym.<\/p>\n

In Colossians 3:12, God\u2019s people are encouraged to clothe themselves with five distinct attributes of Christ. Not for a special occasion, but for every day. So when we’re asked “Got your clothes on yet?” — these are the clothes that really matter regardless how we’re stylin’ or what “threads” we have on:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

\n~ Clothes yourselves with compassion. Compassion is a way of living that reaches others with the hands and feet of Christ in very practical and loving ways.<\/p>\n

~ Clothes yourselves with kindness. Kindness can be an encouraging word to a friend or a gesture that says, “I see you. You matter.\u201d Kindness is a way of living that finds such great pleasure in making others feel cared about.<\/p>\n

~ Clothes yourselves with humility. Humility is the epitome of selflessness. It’s a way of living that looks to others first, because they genuinely care.<\/p>\n

~ Clothes yourselves with gentleness. Gentleness is a way of living that expresses quiet, peaceful and calmness in our approach with others.<\/p>\n

~ Clothes yourselves with patience. Patience a calm, peaceful endurance. It is a way of living that accepts God’s timing as perfect timing, trusting Him Who holds all things in His hands. <\/p>\n

As God\u2019s dearly loved children, that before we put on our daily clothing attire, may we clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience . . . each and every day, then we’ll answer that question, “I’ve got my best outfit on today!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
