Compassionate Hearts


Col3:12  Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 
Col 3:13  bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 
Col 3:14  And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

In other words, put on Christ Jesus. The challenge is to be all these fine attributes in the face of opposition.  The  people around us may be unholy, unlovable, uncaring, angry, aggressive and impatient, seeking advantage over you.  Although we may be perceived as undesirable in a twisted world where good is thought to be evil and evil good. We are to remain steady on the Rock, that is Jesus. On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand. Stand fast, commune with God, be kind and follow Jesus.
