12Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
No deep thoughts needed this is a good paragraph to try to live by--if we all did this seems like there would be few problems in this world today. On the outside I bet there are many people that would say I do live like this---that isn't a bad thing. But on the inside my thoughts are not always aligned with patience and forgiving nature in particular. So I am a work in progress for sure.

I like it. Seems like we could use a HUGE dose of this advice right now. There's not patience for anybody, let alone someone that has a different viewpoint. Love binds them all together in perfect unity. It sounds like a utopia, doesn't it?
