So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It's your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it.
That little black dress
The all-purpose go-to
for day and night
The dress-up
Or dress-down
A basic
all-purpose garment
Who knew?
God has already
catered for
the spiritual equivalent
A staple in the wardrobe
Alongside
Compassion
Kindness
Humility
Quiet strength
Discipline
Love is our go-to
Love enables us
to be content with second place
to quietly
subversively
bring our best selves
to the work of showing Christ
at work in the world
May we never be without it.
