What do you
PUT ON FIRST
after you wake up in the morning?
When I
PUT ON ANXIETY,
I will be ANXIOUS.
When I
PUT ON FEAR,
I will be FEARFUL.
When I
PUT ON DESPAIR,
I will be HOPELESS.
When you
PUT ON __________,
what will you be?
To PUT ON~
"to make part of one's appearance or behavior" (logos),
to wear like a garment.
Therefore,
when
I
PUT ON PEACE,
I will PUT OFF ANXIETY.
When I
PUT ON FAITH,
I will PUT OFF FEAR.
When I
PUT ON HOPE,
I will PUT OFF DESPAIR.
And then
I WILL WALK
in the
FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT
and
I WILL
PRESS FORWARD IN JOY
when discouragement overcomes my soul.
I WILL
PRESS FORWARD IN PEACE
when anxiety ruffles my feathers.
I WILL
PRESS FORWARD IN PATIENCE
when discontentment overwhelms me in the waiting.
I WILL
PRESS FORWARD IN KINDNESS & GOODNESS
when selfishness keeps me in my own world.
I WILL
PRESS FORWARD IN FAITHFULNESS
when distrust leaves me isolated.
I WILL
PRESS FORWARD IN MEEKNESS
when pride keeps me puffed up.
I WILL
PRESS FORWARD IN SELF`CONTROL
when the rebellious child in me starts to emerges.
Therefore,
I WILL
PRESS FORWARD IN LOVE,
IN THE LOVE OF JESUS
who lives within me.
Because
whatever I wear on the inside
will be produced on the outside.
And it is
HIS FRUIT
that
enables me to
PRESS FORWARD
IN
PEACE~
"Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me
~put it into practice.
And the GOD OF PEACE will be with you"
(Philippians 4:9).
So what will you PUT ON today?
LIVE FRUITFUL
and
PUT ON JESUS~
"clothe yourselves with the LORD JESUS CHRIST..."
(Romans 13:14),
wear HIM like a garment.
Just
"GIVE ME JESUS"
(listen to the song below)
