Colossians 3:14-17 (NKJV)
14  But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
15  And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were
called in one body; and be thankful.
16  Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching
and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord
17  And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord
Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

    Leading up to this passage, Paul talked about things to put off and
things to put on. In short: Repentance.
    When we turn from old habits and put on new ones, God makes us a
new creation, and remember, it is with the power of God that we do such
change!
    Paul then builds on that to add love, peace, word of God and
thanksgiving.
    As we start a new year, it is a good time to start some new habits.
This must be in God's leadership and power and to His glory!
