Colossians 3:12-14
New International Version (NIV)
12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love,which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Today I am going to write a lot from my devotional. I dont really do that. I mainly get the verse and topic from my devotional, and then write my thoughts in my blog. However this time I think the devotional is so good I have to share. However some of the remarks are mine and not hers
