What to put on??

I love Colossian3. It is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible. In verse 12-14 it gives us as believers 6 things we are to put on.
Colossians 3:12-14
"Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgive each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must forgive. And above all these put on love which binds everything together in perfect harmony."

We are to put on:
1. compassion
2. kindness
3. humility
4. meekness
5. forgiveness
6. love

I find that all of these are interrelated. It is hard for me to be impatient if I am humble and compassionate. When I am kind I can easily love and forgive others. Working on any one of the traits will develop the others also.
