When you get dressed in the morning, you probably pick out a shirt, pants, maybe a hoodie. You might even think about what colors look good together! But have you ever thought about getting dressed on the inside?

The Bible tells us to “clothe” ourselves with good things like compassion (caring about others), kindness (being nice), humility (thinking about others first), gentleness (being soft and careful with people), and patience (not getting mad when things take forever). These are like invisible clothes that people can still totally see!

When someone is kind, you notice, right? When someone is patient with you, it feels really good! When someone is gentle instead of harsh, you feel safe. These “invisible clothes” make a huge difference in how we treat people and how they feel around us!

Remember, you are God’s representative wherever you go! When you’re at school, at practice, at a friend’s house, or just hanging out...people are watching you. And if you say you’re a Christian, they’re watching to see if you act like one! When you’re clothed in kindness, gentleness, and patience, people see Jesus in you!

So before you walk out the door today, make sure you’re dressed on the inside! Put on those invisible clothes of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. They look good on you!

Take Action: Pick one of the “invisible clothes” from this verse: compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, or patience. Focus on wearing that one thing all day today. Look for chances to show it to the people around you. At the end of the day, think about how it went!
