This moved me ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Deb How I can struggle with deciding something as simple as how I should dress! Yet there are times when I dont just struggle with how to dress on the outside. I struggle with dressing my inside, too! Like the decision between wearing my new shoes or the broken-in ones, my heart-choices easily gravitate toward what feels comfortable. In a conversation with my husband, my mind naturally thinks of what I want to say rather than listening to the words he is speaking. When dialogue with my kids becomes heated, I can slip into demanding respect, before I fully hear what they are trying to say. Im sad to admit it, but caring about my own needs, my feelings, my desires and my agenda often comes first. I want to change that. I want to slow down, carefully choose the words I say, the attitudes I have and the actions I take. Each day, Ive got one shot to make the right decision. Todays key verse tells us the first step in making these right decisions is choosing the best outfit to put on our hearts each day: ... put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience ... Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity (Colossians 3:12b, 14). I want love to be my go-to outfit, my first choice, my initial reaction. No matter where Im going or what Im doing today, I can confidently put on love — exactly the choice I will be most beautiful in!” -- Lynn Cowell
