Prayer

Our prayer verse for this week from Colossians 3: 12-13

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 whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

I guess as we meet someone we (at least somewhat) notice what they are wearing. Pray that as we encounter others today they will see us in the clothes of God's nature. Being covered in His Spirit will be an "inside - out" putting on of clothes. Not that we are going to determine by our own willpower to be kind today as much as we ask God through His Spirit to transform us and enable us to show His nature of kindness. After all, we do have God's power! (Ephesians 1: 18-19a: I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know ... his incomparably great power for us who believe.)
