Good Fit - Right Look

Shopping for clothes goes something like this: take off what looks good & fits, put on what doesn't, put back on what does, hang up what doesn't. All this trying to find a good fit and a right look makes me tired, sweaty and messes up my hair!

 

There is a "good fit" and a "right look" for Believers.  Unfortunately, we forget this at times.  Let me paint a picture: displays of anger that end in temper tantrums, personal agendas that promote selfishness, arrogance fueled by I'll-have-it-my-way-or-else, and unkindness rooted in bitterness and impatience.  Are these scenes familiar?  In Colossians we are told to put on a new man -- like Christ. And, what does this look like -- compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness, endurance, and most of all love! (3:10-14)  For those who call themselves by the Name of Christ, it's The Good Look and The Right Fit.  By His grace, may we always wear it well!
