What Are You Wearing?
By Brent Rinehart "Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony." - Colossians 3:12-14 With our hectic schedules, marked by school events, soccer practices and other obligations, my wife and I don't get to date nearly as often as we once did. So, when we get to go out now, it's a little more special. We each think about what we are going to where – her, more so than me. I mean, I only have so many options! But, for her, whatever she decides to put on, I know it will take my breath away. Clothing makes a huge difference in our attitudes and expectations. Dating isn't the only time we see this. Many workplaces relax the dress code on Fridays. In our office, you can wear jeans on Fridays. It seems like a small thing, but it makes a big difference. It's not even that jeans are necessarily more comfortable than khakis or other attire, but it's a mindset. There are other times we should be thinking about what we are "wearing." Each day, in our marriage – and in our Christian walk – we should be putting something on. |
