By Granting Us His Grace, Jesus Clothes Us with a Character That Shines Forever ㅡ

 “Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering;”

 (Colossians 3:12)

 There is an ornament that will never perish, that will promote the happiness of all around us in this life, and will shine with undimmed luster in the immortal future.

It is the adorning of a meek and lowly spirit....

Of how little value are gold or pearls or costly array in comparison with the loveliness of Christ.

Natural loveliness consists in symmetry, or the harmonious proportion of parts, each with the other; but spiritual loveliness consists in the harmony of likeness of our souls to Jesus.

This will make its possessor more precious than fine gold, even the golden wedge of Ophir.

The grace of Christ is indeed a priceless adornment.

It elevates and ennobles its possessor and reflects beams of glory upon others, attracting them also to the Source of light and blessing.

 (Sons and Daughters of God 184)
