And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.
— Colossians 3:14 (ESV)

Reflection: Love is the glue that binds everything together. Paul’s exhortation in Colossians 3:14 reminds us that love is the most important virtue—it brings harmony and unity to our relationships. Without love, even the most noble actions lose their meaning. But with love, everything we do reflects the heart of Christ.

This love isn’t limited to those who are easy to love; it extends to everyone, even those who may be difficult. It’s a love that forgives, heals, and brings peace. When we put on love, we reflect the nature of God and bring His presence into every situation.

Application: Think of someone in your life who may need a little extra love today. It could be a friend, family member, or even someone you find challenging. Ask God to help you love them as He loves you, and take a step to show that love in a tangible way.

Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your boundless love. Help me to put on love in all my relationships, to forgive, to heal, and to bring Your peace wherever I go. May my love for others reflect Your love for me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Challenge: Perform an act of love today for someone who may not expect it. Let your love be a reflection of Christ’s love for you.
