"doesn't see ME"

by Karmen |

this morning
in my quiet time I read
Isaiah 61:10
“I will greatly rejoice in the Lord
My soul shall be joyful in my God
For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness….
(pic compliments of Google Images)
After reading those words
I began to ponder 
the Honor and privilege
 that is mine
and YOURS if you call 
Jesus, Savior
I thought about how excited
I have gotten at times 
over new dresses
or outfits
or shoes
or accessories
and how special 
certain attire
makes me feel
and how it 
effects my moods and/or actions
which lead me 
to the thought of my 
spiritual attire

“For He has clothed me with with the garments of salvation”

“He has covered me with the robe of righteousness…”
When God looks at me
He doesn’t see ME
He sees me “cloaked in His light”
I wear His Son’s robe of righteousness…
wow.
isn’t that a refreshing
humbling thought
so many 
work for His love
and 
yet
salvation is a gift (Ephesians 2:8-9)
a free gift 
for those who believe (John 3:16)
I encourage you (and note to self!)
to consider
our spiritual attire as
we dress for the day
(pic compliments of Google Images)
to remember
we are arrayed in His righteousness
and as
Sarah Young so eloquently writes in Jesus Calling 
 “There is no condemnation for those who are clothed in Me” 

so wear your robe…..
wear it with honor
wear it lovely
wear it humbly
wear it well
:O)much love

Choose joy it’s sound simple enough but up unti Choose joy

it’s sound simple enough but up until the last few days it’s been a real struggle for me

our current season of parenting has had me in a hard place & I’ve allowed the enemy to cause me to tap out of a lot of things but mostly joy

but a few days ago I decided to start believing the things I say and believe for others 

with Jesus we win

He’s it-
 & in Him IT IS FINISHED 

all of it

because 
Jesus.

He overcame & one day we will too!

 in Him we can BE+SAY & do BOLD THINGS because of who He is ❤️ 

have a joyFUL day, friends
ATTENTION DREAMERS: are you ready? have you bee ATTENTION DREAMERS:
