“All of these virtues are all binded and held together by love”
This week’s devo is from our YTH team member, Calvin. And he says -
“”Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.”
Colossians 3:12-14 NIV
If you look at the Lord, Jesus and the Holy Spirit; what ties everything together is Love. God is Love. He loved us when he built this world, when he created our ancestors, and especially when he sent his Son down to die for our sins.
I chose this verse because it explains and reminds us to hold onto these various virtues: compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgive as the Lord forgave us. All of these virtues are all binded and held together by Love.
Lastly, this verse provides just a glimpse of the kind of traits that our Lord, Jesus Christ has within them.”
