Last night I went shopping for some clothes for work. I haven't needed office attire for several years and my closet is looking rather bare for something to wear in the cooler autumn weather. I found a beautiful plum colored sweater set at my favorite store and a gorgeous, soft scarf to match. I spent quite a bit of money on it and decided to wear it to work today.
The minute I put it on, I felt it; that deep seated confidence a woman feels when she loves what she is wearing and it makes her feel beautiful! This simple sweater set and scarf makes me feel pretty! As I was sitting at my desk smiling, I realized people where noticing! My boss, my co-workers, the janitors, all smiled back and said hi. Some even stopped for a bit of a chat.
Now I am not an unfriendly sort. I smile, I laugh, and I like to visit, but there was something about today that pushed it over the top. It was the way I felt on the inside and it got me thinking.
If a simple set of clothes can make people notice how I feel, imagine what would happen if I let my love for Jesus and the relationship I have with Him, shine through as well. Would people notice that too? I believe they would!
If i clothe myself in the words of the Lord, letting them seep and settle into my soul, would they shine back out at the world?
Just a note on what I am learning on this wonderful journey!
God's Blessings on you all....
