Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony Colossians 3:14

Joe was a recovering alcoholic who had a powerful conversion experience. He spent his days and nights hanging out at the homeless mission with a smile on his face and gratitude in his heart.

One evening, a guest preacher was preaching and there was one man who came down the aisle and knelt to pray, crying to God to help him change. The homeless man kept shouting, “Oh God! Make me like Joe! Make me like Joe!”

The preacher leaned over and said to the man, “Son, I think it would be better if you prayed, ‘Make me like Jesus.’”

The man looked up at the preacher with a confused expression and asked, “Is he like Joe?”

If you are the closest thing to Jesus some will ever see, what are they seeing? Are they seeing his compassion? Are they seeing his love through you? Whatever else you put on this day, make sure you “clothe yourselves with love.”
