What Do You Look Like?

As we journey through life, have we ever paused to consider what we truly look like in the eyes of God and others? Today's message challenges us to examine ourselves through the lens of Colossians 3:12-14. We're called to 'put on' virtues like compassion, kindness, humility, and patience - not as mere external adornments, but as core aspects of our spiritual identity. The passage reminds us that as God's chosen people, we're meant to reflect His character. Just as a photograph captures our true physical appearance, God's Word serves as a spiritual mirror, revealing our inner selves. Are we truly embodying these qualities in our daily lives? The message urges us to be honest in our self-appraisal, even when it's uncomfortable. It's through this honest reflection and intentional 'putting on' of godly attributes that we grow to resemble Christ more closely. As we navigate our relationships within the church and beyond, let's consider: Are we known for our forgiveness, our ability to 'put up with' others, and above all, our love? These qualities bind us together in perfect harmony, creating a powerful testimony to the transformative power of Christ in our lives.
