Fw: Wow! That looks good on you!

Colossians 3:9 Don't lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. 10 Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him. 11 In this new life, it doesn't matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us. 12 Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

It turns out that kindness, like love is something we choose over other things. It's like picking out your clothes for the day. In any given situation you can choose to be kind or you can choose to ignore, be rude, angry, bitter, hateful, etc. You get the idea.

Now Kindness from the Greek carries the idea of moral excellence with gentle goodness.

It has been my experience, that most people who think themselves morally excellent are generally not gentle in their dealings with those they deem morally destitute.

There are a few believers I know, who have high moral excellence, and in their day to day dealings with others show great gentleness, even when correction or instruction in righteousness must be brought. They are wearing the right clothes.

Today choose to put on Christ in all His excellence and you will not only look good, you will shine like the stars of Heaven.

Daniel 12:3 Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever.

Love in Christ,
