Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.
Colossians 3:14
Love that Binds
Many people spend a lot of time on their outer appearance, finding the right clothes, the right accessories, just to make sure that they look presentable as the world would have them look. How many people actually spend that much time on their inner person? It is more important to spend time clothing yourself with the things of God than the things of the world. When you put on mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, you will find yourself changing into the person God wants you to be. The greatest attribute you can put on is love. Love binds us with those around us in unity. Love binds us with our spouses, When we put on love, we are able to show mercy to each other, kindness, humility for one another, gentleness, and we are able to be patient.
Love is something we have to put on everyday so we can have all of those attributes when we wake up next to each other and go to bed at night. Let His love bind you with your spouse everyday. His love binds together, covers sins, and heals all wounds.
A Prayer to Remember
Dear Lord,
Your love is so beautiful and pure. Your love cleanses and covers sins, heals past wounds, and binds us together. May you bind me with my spouse and show me how to love. Amen
