Put On Love Today

This is the writing of Victoria Osteen yesterday. What I love about this is making this part of your morning routine and getting ready. Do you know anyone that when you see them, you know they have put on love? They wear God's new line called "I am love". I do and she radiates with love, compassion, friendship and so much more EVERY time you see her! It is obvious that she puts on her love every day.

If you’re like me, when you wake up in the morning, you start thinking about your day—where you’ll be going, who you’ll be seeing, and what the weather will be like. Then you go to your closet and choose something to wear that will work for all those different scenarios. But there’s one thing that the Bible tells us we need to “put on” if we are going to be fully equipped for everything we will face each day—and that is love.

Love is a one-size-fits-all solution to every situation you will ever encounter with your family, friends, coworkers, and even the grocery clerk. When you’re wearing love, you are setting yourself up for success because the Bible tells us that love never fails. And love never goes out of style either. It never gives up, wears out, or becomes old. It’s the perfect thing for every occasion!

So, how do you put on love? It's interesting that with the principles of God, we always have to do something. Wouldn’t it be nice if God would just come and put love on us? You know, in the middle of a heated discussion or when someone cuts us off in traffic, if He would just come and drop love right on us, then we would always do and say the right thing. But that’s not how it works. We have to choose love. We have to choose to be patient, kind, humble, and giving. We have to choose His Word. We have to decide between what our mind is screaming and what our heart is whispering.


So hopefully you have put on your LOVE today and will knock the world over with your new outfit. Make it a wonderful Wednesday!
