Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy, and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, gentleness, and patience. Colossians 3:12 NIV Bible
My last post was about how politics could drive a person, namely me, to eat! Well, the election is over, and fortunately, I turned all my stress and anxiety over to the Lord God's very capable hands, and didn't feel the need to turn to food to comfort me, like I used to do years ago!
The thing is, whatever side of the political fence you stand on, this Bible Passage is still significant to remember! For God doesn't want us to be hateful to others, by our actions or our thoughts, to those on the other side of the political fence.
This doesn't matter whether the election went the way we want, we shouldn't gloat, because that's being insensitive to what others might be feeling. If things didn't turn out the way we had hoped, being resentful to those on the other side of the political fence, doesn't speak highly of our faith in the Lord God, Whom we represent. I'm going to post this one more time, so you see just how significant this passage is. Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy, and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, gentleness, and patience. Colossians 3:12 NIV Bible
