"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." -- Colossians 3:12-14

If you open the Bible to look for guidance on how to live, you will find some here. It's not so much on what to do, but more the traits we are to bear.  Be kind and compassionate... humble, gentle, and patient.  Hold each other up and forgive each other.  And wrap it all in love.  Christ modeled this way of being for us.  Now model it for others.

Readings:  Jeremiah 8:8-9:26; Colossians 3:1-17; Psalm 78:32-55; Proverbs 24:27
