Being the Dress

[rhema] 3/15/12


HEARD: He asked me today, "Did I enjoy being a prom dress"?  If the shoe fits wear it.


Quickened Parable: 
This week my oldest daughter has been prom dress shopping with her friends.  They would go shopping and she would bring home pictures of her favorites to show me.  She would describe each dress with such excitement for this is a celebration.  She is a senior and is graduating.  The dress we both decided on was beautifully tailored just for her. It has several layers of different shades of brown taffeta on the bottom with a shimmery golden brown on the top.  The bodice is covered with large jewels in every color.  This dress perfectly highlighted her golden brown locks and her icy blue eyes.  She is stunning in it!

Prom defined:  a formal dance, especially one held by a high school or college class at the end of an academic year.


HEARD: Adorned in Jewels

"You were in Eden, the garden of God. Your clothing was adorned with every precious stone — red carnelian, pale-green peridot, white moonstone, blue-green beryl, onyx, green jasper, blue lapis lazuli, turquoise, and emerald— all beautifully crafted for you and set in the finest gold. They were given to you on the day you were created. "(Ezekiel 28:13)



Quickened Word from a Facebook friend and Dwelling with The Holy Spirit member: 
"I see you being fitted with a new suit of armor right now in the Spirit. It is a little different from the last one. He says you know it and He has been revealing to you what it all means. There are many gemstones that have been added into this suit."
  
Fill thy Cup: 
My sweet, it brings Me such joy to see you walk in the calling I have created for you.  These shoes fit you perfectly as I created them on the day I dreamed of you.  You bring Me such joy as you are so careful to be obedient.  Even when it hurts you serve Me.  You pass every test as You are faithful to Me in spite of the pain you feel and because of that I am celebrating you.   I have adorned you with jewels of very color.  You shine and sparkly.  Like the jewels in the night sky, you are a shining light and will be a beacon for many.
