Title: Clothed With Virtue Post by: SetFree2007 on February 23, 2007, 04:15:00 AM Clothed with Virtue
Creative paraphrase of Colossians 3:12-14 12Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Though each of us differ in manifold ways Our hearts can be clothed with compassion and praise The intense profoundness of Agape love Manifests itself in a humble, gentle spirit from above Though each person is distinctly unique We all can befriend one who is kind and meek A friendship is squelched through conflict and strife But patience and Forgiveness sustain its life When clothed with unconditional love and acceptance Humility, kindness, gentleness and patience on stormy waters the peaceful dove emerges bringing Divine Love which unifies, cleanses and purges Even though we are different in so many ways As with the variety of foods you see at buffets a mismatch of colors striving to blend clothed with virtue longing to mend (link removed) Title: Re: Clothed With Virtue Post by: Soldier4Christ on February 23, 2007, 04:45:21 AM A wonderful poem doing Glory to God.
