Blessings my lovely readers,
Today's post is by a special friend and sister in the Lord who happens to be an amazing artist.
Her name is Elizabeth Marrero and she will be sharing a beautifully written piece titled "Pieces".
She is also blessing us with two downloads of her work by the same title; a screensaver for your phone or computer and a digital download for any other artistic crafty project you may have in mind.
Be encouraged and be inspired.
Pieces
Miuccia Prada said fashion is instant language. It's an expression of who we are in the inside.But what if who you think you are is incorrect?From the birth of fashion, Adam and Eve clothed themselves in what they thought their identity to be. They covered their shame in leaves plucked from the branch, now wilting. It said we are not worthy to be seen. God saw more, as He always does. He saw His own image staring back. So He sewed and clothed them accordingly.He gave them clothing made of animal skin. This would never wilt and would greatly protect them from the elements. It was a foreshadow of the blood shed to clothe us with eternal life. They were wearing a prototype of Jesus.Life can shatter us. The world labels us as it wants. Our past tries to creep in with stories that teach us lies of who we are. We dress accordingly in frumpy clothes or dark colors to hide. We think wearing good clothes is for someone else.But our Creator knows our true identity. He calls us worthy and wants to clothe us accordingly. He picks up each piece and puts it back together with His gold from Heaven, turning our battle scars into beauty marks. He calls us to rise to our true identities as His sons and daughters.Give Him every shattered piece of you and answer His call. It will be for a makeover like no other; one that restores your true royal identity.My beloved spoke and said to me, “Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, come with me.(Song of Solomon 2:10)
