Wardrobe Malfunctions

If you know me at all, you know that keeping fashionable or stylish in clothing is not my thing.  I am certain that some of the choices I make in clothing could bring some embarrassment to those seen with me.  But I am writing today to confess my biggest wardrobe malfunction ever, and sadly one I repeat.  It was pointed out to me in Colossians 3 this week.  There I am told that as a dearly loved, chosen and holy daughter of the King that I am to be clothed with:

• compassion
• kindness
• humility
• gentleness
• patience
• bearing with others
• forgiveness - of others, even as God forgave me
• And the browning glory - I am to be adorned with LOVE, which creates unity.

In case I have that all in line (!) the writer gives me a few accessories to include:

• peace- letting the peace of Christ RULE in my heart ("let it rule" - sounds like I don't have to ask for peace - I just need to respond!)
• thankfulness
• absorption in the Word of God. 

While I still don't expect to spend any more time pulling together the wardrobe in my closet, I think it's time to invest a little more time in updating my spiritual wardrobe!
