CLOTHED

What is the garment that truly is worn over our lives? It is based upon prevailing fashion? Some ethical based fabric that somebody tells us means we are a good person?

Or is it found in other ways? Purchased and warn in manners some really will never understand?

With God his suit he chooses to cloth us with is always going to be different from the one we pick for ourselves. And it will fit as he decides is important. Serving his purposes instead of our own.

It might be that the garment he chooses doesn't even fit us as well was we would hope. Although it will be tailored the need God has planned for us.

As for the appearance, that may not be to our liking either. One of those details about spiritual vestments is God knows the size we need. And even if we aren't thrilled with it at the time, he has the wisdom to know what will be the best for us.

That doesn't mean we always will even understand at the times. Or accept what is laid on our shoulders.

But by faith we learn to adjust to the awkwardness. To slip on the garb designated and see is as one where God make a perfect fit.

This doesn't always grant us the joy at the time. It often comes later. In ways we only understand in due season.

Quiet is the heart that learns to love the Lord before all else. That doesn't race to lament what feels wrong or uncomfortable.

Instead walking towards the sun's light. As he grant us mercy to see. Always rejoice that we are left naked.

For many see their rich silky wardrobes of self and something of pride. Never understanding they are really only rags.

What a pity to be so blind and never grasp what is truly worthwhile and special. For when we fail we only let ourselves be less adorned of what God truly weaves.

This the armor of trust that will be a shield in times of less than blessing. A time that we can savor for the richness intended.

It might seem hollow to certain eyes. But in God it is a pleasure we can savor. For some see it as poverty and vagabond wardrobes. Instead of what God blesses as but the robes for eternity, which always shine much brighter in his light of love than those which are made by our hands.
