Called to Care – Day 27

₁₂You are the people of God; he loved you and chose you for his own. So then, you must clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. ₁₃Be tolerant with one another and forgive one another whenever any of you has a complaint against someone else. You must forgive one another just as the Lord has forgiven you. ₁₄And to all these qualities add love, which binds all things together in perfect unity. ₁₅The peace that Christ gives is to guide you in the decisions you make; for it is to this peace that God has called you together in the one body. And be thankful. ₁₆Christ's message in all its richness must live in your hearts. Teach and instruct each other with all wisdom. Sing psalms, hymns, and sacred songs; sing to God with thanksgiving in your hearts. ₁₇Everything you do or say, then, should be done in the name of the Lord Jesus, as you give thanks through him to God the Father.
