New Wardrobe

John 5:24

I tell you the truth, whoever hears my words and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.

I believe You

I have crossed from death to life

The transaction is complete

My wardrobe pieces suggest

I am fully aware of this change

I open the closet, and I no longer choose garments of shame

The wallflower cape

The ugly girl sweater

The scarf of mourning

All dress up clothes I wore

Trying to prove the false perception 

Trying to convince the world that what I felt was true

A fashionista with a flare for despair

But I couldn't convince you

You kept coming home with presents

Boxes of hope wrapped with love bound with bows of truth

I pretended not to want all the attention 

But secretly, I began to look forward to the birthright surprises

The coat the color of joy, the dress that made feel as light as air

 An exuberance that could not be contained exploded

And I ripped into those boxes like a 3 year old on Christmas Eve

What else? Is there more? What else do you have for me?

Gloves strong like faith 

A hat fashioned to rescue me 

A shirt that looks like redemption 

And the gifts keep coming 

I want more and more

Transformation full and complete

Brought from the orphanage to the kingdom

Decked out on the outside

The true reflection of the glow, the flow, the truth on the inside
