Many would like to have some new clothes or even better, a brand-new wardrobe. Though a new wardroab might be nice, a new set of spiritual duds would be even better. I don’t know about you, but at times, I am faced with situations that try to frustrate me or even make me angry. When we are treated wrong is when the true depth of our Christianity is made known. This is when we find out how an excellent spiritual wardrobe can make a difference.

The second in the line up of the greatest of all commandments is to love your neighbor as yourself! Mk 12:31 This is a beautiful saying but not always easy to live! In Luke chapter 6 Jesus said, “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you..” Luke 6:27-31 Wow! Life on another level by the power of God starts right here! Look at these powerful words from apostle Paul. 

Col 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 whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.  And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. 

When someone has offended you, the temptation is to be bitter and cut them off; this is the opposite of God’s way. God’s heart for us is to bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances we have with each other. To live in this kind of victory, we must be clothed with God's kind of clothing – love. With the help of the Holy Spirit we can put on the clothes of, compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; this will give us the power and grace to have God's attitude, his attitude of love. This is not possible in our own strength; it requires an impartation from God and is accessed by simple faith.

According to Romans 5:5, the love of God is made possible in us by the Holy Spirit.

Rom 5:5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

The world is longing for a true manifestation of God’s love! We as the body of Christ must allow the Holy Spirit to have his full way in our hearts and minds! My prayer for you today is that you will draw near to God and, by faith, deeply receive his love for you! This alone will give you the power to forgive and love those who have done you wrong! A new wardrobe is available for you today– spiritual clothes of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Yes! I am asking God today God to give you a...
