"As God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put love, which binds them all together in perfect unity."
This passage is so unbelievably rich. It addresses so many different areas in my life. It's so entirely convicting and encouraging at the same time. As of right now I think this is my favorite Bible passage!
Thank you, God for blessing me so greatly by giving me your word. Thank you for showing me and convicting me of my sins. I pray that you would help me to repent of them. I pray that you would help me to truly be humble. Take away my sickening and overwhelming pride. Help me to be kind and gentle and patient. Lord, I want to be like you, please change my heart. Help me to forgive my brothers and sisters in Christ. Lord, don't let me hate your children, please don't let me live in bitterness against them! Help me to forgive as you forgave me! And God, help me to love. Help me to love my neighbors as you have loved me and to love you above anything or anyone else.
