Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long suffering Colossians 3:12
sorry i haven't been posting in a while . This verse means that we should give everything we have to God. God has told us to worship him and to love him. Even if we have to go through trouble or suffering, we should always give everything to God

Colossians 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long suffering
"Christ is all" is the verse that comes before this one. It's actually very important or else you won't be able to understand the rest. The adjectives (I'm assuming) are talking about God. Elect means chosen for something. The verse describes God. One word that would relate to my life would be "long suffering." Now, again, I'm not sure if this verse is talking about God himself but if it does, the long suffering would be his decent unto earth to be killed. His life here on earth was rather long (for us). He died when he was in his 30's and I'm not even in my thirties! All through his years, he must of had a lot of people persecute him which lead to his death. This is the true meaning of long suffering.

"When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom." (Proverbs 11:2)
I think this verse has a lot of meaning behind it. When it says when pride comes then comes disgrace it's saying like if you are boasting about something you accomplished in a negative way then disgrace can come after. For example, if you are like very confident in something you are about to do and brag to everyone that you are better than them and going to do great, but then in the end, end up badly that will be very embarrassing for you. When it says with humility comes wisdom it is saying that when you are humiliated, you can learn from it. For example, if you are called in class by the teacher and you don't know the question and you get embarrassed a little, then next time you should know to be ready for the questions and prepared. (Happened to me before :/)
