-- Sing awhile, play awhile
move in parts
yet flood the whole with My presence.
Speak to Me all the time
and I will guide your goings and guard your comings.
You live and move encased in Me
You wear Me like a crown and
do not see that I am drawn around you
with velvet thread --a robe to keep you warm.
A cozy robe, informal, a robe for rest and comfort
and putting up your slippered feet to drink your cup of tea.
I am the tea that warms you and the chair that supports you.
I am the stool that rests your feet.
Yes, at times I am your battle dress, when war is close at hand.
And at times I am your ballroom gown as we celebrate through the night.
At other times I am your business attire and I clothe you fit to work.
But today I am your fluffy robe
and I draw you aside
to rest in My heart
and know that I love you. –
“You are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:26-28 (NIV)
“ I delight greatly in the LORD;
my soul rejoices in my God.
For He has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.” Isaiah 61:10
