Love
Colossians 3:14
But above all these things put on love, which
is the bond of perfection.
In his book on auditioning for Broadway, director Michael
Shurtleff tells actors to consider every scene in a play a “love scene.” It’s not that every scene is romantic. But every scene has emotion, and our core
emotion is love. “The desire for love,
to give it or receive it… is the chief propellant in human beings,” wrote
Shurtleff. “An actor had best learn
that.”
We’d best all learn that.
Every experience in life is a love scene, and Christians are to love as
Jesus loves. The Bible speaks of putting
on love like a garment. Colossians 2:14
(NLT) says, “Above all, clothe yourselves with love.” It’s a cloak we never remove. Since the bible uses this symbol, why not
take a moment and visualize it. Look at the
clothed you’re wearing today. Think of
them as radiating love. Think of
yourself as wearing the invisible threads of love, doing good, meeting needs,
shedding offenses, showing compassion, projecting friendliness. That’s the uniform of the Christian.

If I take offense easily; if I am content to continue in
cold unfriendliness, though friendship be possible, then I know nothing of
Calvary love.
