Now, believe me, I am NOT a fashion designer, NOR do I have one--however, if I ever find a beauty on the bargain racks, you can be sure I buy it and wear it with great delight. Presidential women need not visit the bargain racks--can you imagine bumping into your favorite First Lady in the bargain basement of your favorite department store? What a funny thought! We want our First Ladies to look "designer-made"--and rightly so!
Each time I visit Washington, I MUST visit the breath-taking, lovely display of inaugural ball gowns at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C. I'll never wear one, but what a delight to see! One more is on the way--we can read about the latest inaugural ball gown and the lovely lady who will wear it this weekend. Laura Bush will be bedecked in a deep red gown of Chantilly beaded lace, so I hear (see link below!)--and her fashion designer will beam with pride and great delight.
You and I may never wear an inaugural ball gown (or tux, guys!) fashioned by a designer of world renown; however, we have a Fashion Designer who has created for each of us a spotless white robe of righteousness...It is without cost to us, paid for by the precious Blood of our Lord, designed by God Himself with flawless perfection. We radiate His love and grace to the world each day we wear it...and more! For we OURSELVES are designer-made, created in His image, one-of-a-kind, and dazzling in the Designer's eyes!
Remember, you are THE Fashion Designer's delight, a marvelous masterpiece of His grace...and He's still in the business of designing lives today. He can pick up the tattered pieces of a broken life, put them together again and make "something beautiful" of your life....He's done it many times before--and He can do it again--for YOU! Now believe it--and have a beautiful day!
Delight in a Word from the Well--a refreshing in the Water of His Word
Bible Gateway.com - Psalm 139--We are fearfully and wonderfully made!
"...the Lord delighteth in thee...(Isaiah 62:4)."
"I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness...(Isaiah 61:10)."
Draw from the Well--a prayer for renewing strength for this day
"Lord, You've made me and You know me. You're the supreme Designer of my life--and I love You. Help me to radiate from deep within the beauty of Your love and grace; help me to know I am clothed in the robe of Your righteousness to "showcase" Your love each day, In Jesus' Name, Amen."
