Clothe yourself with compassion

Paul calls God's loved people to compassion, humility, patience, forgiveness, and love. Forgiving as the Lord forgave does not remove the need for truth or accountability. These virtues describe life together in Christ. Let love shape the way you address a wrong, rather than avoiding it or using it to dominate.

Put the Word into practice

Address one grievance with truthful, patient words and a clear request for needed change.
