Colossians 3:12
As God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
What of Today’s Verse…
"Wonder what I’ll need to wear to that meeting?" Paul reminds us that there is a set of clothing that is always in style. We wear this clothing because we are special. This clothing is from the Ultimate Designer’s collection called character and is best worn when with other people. These qualities are hard to wear, but always a blessing to those who meet us when we’re decked out in this wardrobe.
Let us Pray:
Abba Father, thank you for bringing me into your family. May I never disappoint you in the way I treat others. May they see in me the qualities of character that can only be attributed to your presence in my life. To you be the glory and the honour, forever and ever, through Jesus my Lord. Amen.

Attitude…
You can change your attitude without any muscular effort. You don’t need any money, time, fuel, space or other resource. You don’t need anyone else’s permission. You don’t need a detailed plan of action for changing your attitude. It’s not complicated. You don’t even need a lot of experience.
You can instantly change your attitude. When you do, you’ll discover that there’s a significant amount of leverage in that attitude. A small change in your attitude can make a big change in your world, in much the same way that a small change in the direction of a ship’s rudder can make a big change in the ship’s final destination.
So how is your attitude today? Is it anything less than entirely positive? What possible reason could you have for maintaining a negative attitude? It makes no sense to be negative, when there’s no cost or effort involved in maintaining a positive attitude.
Develop an attitude that lets your setbacks move you forward, an attitude that turns your weaknesses into strengths and your mistakes into wisdom. You’re already moving full speed ahead. Make sure your attitude guides you to the desired destination.
