Sometimes when I give someone a “To Do” list, I have in mind that one thing be done for sure. “If you don’t get anything else done, be sure you do this.”

Once in a while, we read something like that in the Bible. Like this:

“And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness” (Colossians 3:14).

What else is in that particular “To Do” list?

• Mercy
• Kindness
• Humility
• Meekness
• Longsuffering
• Forbearance
• Forgiveness

Charity is to drive my doing of all those things.
