Key concepts
When we talk about ‘clothing ourselves’, this verse is saying that when we wake up in the morning, we ought to get dressed spiritually and emotionally as well as physically. When we wake up in the morning and decide what to wear, we should also ask ourselves, “What kind of attitude am I going to wear today?”
Why should we be kind? We are to be kind for two reasons. First, we are to be kind because God is kind to us. Ephesians 2:8 says, “Because of His kindness you have been saved through trusting Christ.” And in Proverbs 11:17 it says, “Your own soul is nourished when you are kind; it is destroyed when you are cruel.”
So when we are kind, we are really doing ourselves a favour!
