I bet you like to get new clothes every once in a while. When you do get something new, it is a good idea to give something old away. We started doing that when my kids were young, and it keeps us from getting way too much stuff. But what if you got something new, and then went to school with your new clothes on, but forgot to take a shower, or comb your hair, or even brush your teeth. Putting something new over something that isn’t clean, isn’t a good idea. Do you know when we gave our heart to Jesus, he gave us brand new clothes to wear. They are called robes of righteousness. But not only did He take care of the outside, he washed us clean on the inside! So when we get our new clothes of righteousness, we don’t look half dressed. We are clean from the inside out. When it comes to loving like Jesus, we are made to be like Him, so we have everything we need to begin showing the love of God to those around us. We can love like He does, because we are changed from the inside out. How cool is that!
