Colossians 3:12-14
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Reflection
Jesus said that the greatest commandment was to love God and also to love our neighbor as ourselves. This passage gives us an idea of how we can love our neighbor as “God’s chosen people.”
Who have you encountered during this week that you loved as your “neighbor” as yourself in the way(s) specified in this passage? Are there people that you encountered this week where you fell short in loving them as yourself?
