Daily Devotion – August 12, 2023

“As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.” Colossians 3:12 NRSV

I’m coming at you with questions today. How do you carry yourself in public? How do you treat other people, especially those who are different than you? Does it reflect God’s love? Is it how Jesus would have presented Himself? God’s love for us is unfailing and unconditional and we are charged to reflect that love in our lives and our interactions with others. Showing these qualities makes you approachable and helps you to meet those who need your help where they are.

Dear God, thank You for Your eternal love. Please guide my heart and make me mindful of these qualities so that I may show your love and blessings to those who cross my path. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
