“Therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and dearly loved, put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.” Colossians 3:12
At least I haven't killed anyone, yet. When that is our standard, we are pretty good people. However, it is amazing how, when given a list of areas to become better, we will find the things that we identify with already but look past those things we don't. "I am compassionate and kind, most of the time" someone may say. But then gloss over the more challenging notions of humility and patience. One of our downfalls as humans is that we compare ourselves to others and cherry pick the things that we do well or better than others, but fail to see our true weaknesses.
Lord, help me to be more intentional about addressing ALL of the areas in my life that You believe I can become better.
