WHAT ARE YOU WEARING TODAY?
Your "down in the dumps" dress, your "grumble groaning" dress, or, maybe your “self-pity” outfit? Pretty ugly, aren't they?
Did you know that God gave you a new wardrobe when He came to live in you? He wants you to cast off the old clothes of the flesh and put on the new clothes He has given you—kindness, joy, mercy, humility, longsuffering, love, and forgiveness. These clothes make you look very beautiful, especially to your husband and children.
Each morning you choose what you will wear—the drab “fleshly” clothes of your old life or the new clothes of the Spirit which Jesus Christ has given to you at the great cost of His life and His precious blood.
Ephesians 4: 24 says: “PUT ON the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
The NLT says: “THROW OFF your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. PUT ON your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.”
Oh . . . do you need to go and change your clothes? Won’t you look lovely in your “patience” outfit, or perhaps your new “joyful dress”? It will change the whole vibe of your home.
Enjoy your new wardrobe.
Love from Nancy Campbell
