In the Mirror

Something amazing happened a few months ago 

 As an exercise to help me, I began to write using colorful dry erase markers on my bathroom mirror,positive affirmation statements that I needed to begin to believe. I wrote “It is worth it”, “with Me all things are Possible” and “I am a work in Transition” or “ For Such a time as this” and many more.

I looked in the mirror every morning and then would read them as I saw this in me. After a while I felt like I had received these messages into my spirit, so I took some window cleaner and cleaned the mirror. A few months passed and then one morning I took a shower but one thing was different. I forgot to turn on the fan when I entered the shower. So as I came out and went to look in the mirror something awesome was there. 

 Because the steam had stayed on the mirror I could see the words engraved in the mirror as clear as if it had been written with a pen. The words were still there! As I re -read all of the statements that I had been declaring I began to cry and become so grateful for this message. Even though I wasn’t doing the exercise any more the words had been there... invisible.

 I felt God was telling me not to forget these statements and even though I couldn’t see it that it was still written and still true. I watched as the steam whisped away and the mirror in front of me became a clear reflection.

What are you believing today? What statements have you been believing that are invisible but still there. It may be time to do inventory and write some new statement. 

Designer Labels

Gucci, Micheal Kors, Coach, Guess and Versace

Name brands, designer labels, signs of money , status and what?

I am branded, labelled and designed by the greatest Designer the world has ever known

Who are you wearing tonight you ask?

No not DKYN, Armani or Prada, Louis Vuitton, or Chanel

I wear Joy around my neck and Love on my chest

My shoes have the swoosh not of Nike but of the message of Peace

My car does not have a jaguar sitting at the front or a BMW ensign to prove my success to the world

The most prestigious marque can not compare to what He has branded on my soul

My fashion choice is Free, Forgiven and Grace

Christian Dior has nothing in my size

Mercy is engraved on a gold plaque on my hand bag

I am in season and a trend setter, with visions of what everyone will be wearing next

Who did you allow to dress you? – Vera Wang, Ralph Lauren or are you draped in the material of His choosing, in kindness, gentleness and self control, is this Haute Couture for you?

For anything they put their name on can not compare to the way the stars are arranged in such beauty or the colors of the deep blue sea, the majesty of snow capped mountains, nothing ever designed can reach the breathlessness of true creation -A new born baby held in its mothers arms

I have been named after The Designer- I am a Child of God

My luxury items that are priceless consist of wisdom, knowledge and understanding

Cartier and Rolex  have not been bound around my wrist

My times and seasons are in sync and syncopated with Heaven

Though I may not own any Dolce & Gabbana in my closets

 This is not a true reflection of my status

Paris, Milan, New York and  Rome- none have created more of a spectacular show of creativity than when my Designer choose to create me- for I was fearfully and wonderfully made

Crafted and created from the finest cloth, stitched with precision and purpose, displayed for all to see

Runways, models and all the best advertisement and marketing schemes

Can never convince me that now I am worth something.

I was worth it long ago

Worthy of prosperity in every way, body, spirit, mind and soul

Worth all the gold and silver He has hidden in treasures in the earth

Worth His love

He gave me His very best

His Son wore stripes before they were considered fashionable

To show me how much I am truly worth

So I will choose to wear my Truth and be true to what I wear
