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. I live among rolling hills and mountains, so seeing prairie grasslands on our trip out west was new to me. At first I thought I wouldn’t like the prairie, that it would be boring without green fields, trees, and mountains. But I was wrong, for I found beauty in the soft muted colors of the prairie. There was a gentleness there that I had to learn to see. As I have seen watching my young grandsons with their newborn sisters, gentleness is something that has to be learned. And it is only possible to learn gentleness when we know that we are dearly loved. Paul told the followers at Colossi that we need to clothe ourselves with gentleness. When we consciously put on love like we put on clothing then we can be learn to be gentle, forgive each other, and seek to love as Christ as loved us.
Prayer Gentle and Loving Father Remind us of how much we are loved. Teach us to forgive as we have been forgiven. Bind us together with your love. Amen
