New Clothes

"I delight greatly in the Lord;
My soul rejoices in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments
of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of
righteousness,
as a bridegroom adorns his head
like a priest,
and as a bride adorns herself
with her jewels."
~~Isaiah 61:0~~

We feasted on delicious victuals & libations, and had the most enriching and wonderful fellowship last night with some good (albeit new) friends and their precious family. The men joyfully played their instruments while us ladies looked on.
I was broken by their kindness and generosity. They have just gone through an unspeakable tragedy and yet they entertained us with the best of cuisine and hospitality. The peace of the Lord was in their home so thickly, I could feel Him watching over us and sense His angels on high keeping charge of this family and the atmosphere within their rooms.
Harmony came home with the most beautiful items that I can just see she treasures. The things given to her mean so much because I know they were given at a high price, and we didn't take that lightly.
It caused me to think about the new clothes that were given us at the time of our salvation, and again shall be given us when we enter Heaven and are adorned in white like Him. He esteems these garments with a high alliance. It welds us to Him in purity when we step into the new clothes of righteousness. We are all at once white as snow, our sins forgiven and as far as the East is from the West. It's incredible.
Maybe this is a strange correlation, but that's okay, it's my blog...and my head can be strange. I am so thankful for these friends, and for God's righteousness that he freely imparts to us, so I knew I had to write about it. There.
