Reading this morning in Colossians, and I came across a verse that was really cool.
"Put on then, as God's chosen ones, Holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and if one has a complaint against another firgiving one another, as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all things put on love, which binds together everything in perfect harmony"
That last phrase encouraged me to be better in the way that I treat others and act in difficult situations. When I am frustrated with someone, I choose love. When I am stressed and tired, I choose love. When I wake up in the morning I choose love. Love is the greatest weapon I have in this world, for the enemy can not stand it. All men were created to desire love, and may the words of my mouth and the actions of my heart display the love of Christ.
"And above all things put on love."
"Love is the greatest weapon I have in this world, for the enemy cannot stand it." We are Christ's warriors, fighting for Him, and our only weapon is love. Sorry to be cheesy, but that's the way I think about it. :)
