Wearing a new wardrobe

Some of the delegates

On March 8, around 60 women from Grace Baptist Association churches gathered in Guildford to think about being clothed with compassion and so be equipped to care.

With compelling honesty, Ann Benton shared that she thought she was a kind person until she became faced with a difficult caring situation. The wry smiles in the room showed that most people echoed that in their own situation as carers.

Outfit of compassion

Looking at Colossians 3.12-17, those present were reminded that being compassionate has Jesus at its foundation. Since we’ve been raised with Christ we have the victory over sin and we have the ability to please and obey God as we have the key to a new wardrobe containing an outfit of compassion. It is made of kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. It has deep pockets of forgiveness and forbearance, and over the top goes a jacket of love.
