Like Clothing, Put On...

     Reading scripture with the children, I was reminded that mercy (or tender mercies) is something we must put on as a garment, as well as kindness, humility, meekness, and longsuffering. We are to bear with one another and forgive one another, and above all, put on LOVE.

And why are we to do this?

Because we are His: chosen, holy, and beloved!  

I remember doing a study one time on covenant, and how the two parties traditionally traded garments as part of the covenant sealing.  What a blessing that God gives us His beautiful garment, when all we had to give him were filthy rags.

I decided to draw this out today.
