Day 5: Hidden with Christ, Revealed in Love Reading: Colossians 3:12-17

Devotional: As we conclude our week, we see that our new identity in Christ isn't just about personal transformation - it's meant to overflow into our relationships and community. Paul paints a beautiful picture of what it looks like when a group of people truly live out their identity as God's chosen ones.

Notice how many of these qualities - compassion, kindness, humility, patience - are about how we treat others. Our individual connection to Christ should always lead to a loving connection with our brothers and sisters.

Today, focus on verse 14: "And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity." Ask God to fill you afresh with His love. Then, look for practical ways to express that love to others. Maybe it's a word of encouragement, an act of service, or extending forgiveness. As you do, you'll be revealing the hidden reality of Christ's life within you, giving the world a glimpse of God's kingdom.
