Clothed From On High

'Who told you that you were naked?' has to be one of the greatest questions of all time.  And it just might be the most important one. 

It is the first time that God sought to speak healing truth into a broken human soul. 

You're probably familiar with the Genesis story: God creates humanity as His crowning achievement, Adam and Eve break God's perfect creation, then they let fear and shame keep them hidden in the shadows, wounded. 

Not much has changed in all these millennia, has it?  God is still laying out beautiful lives before us.  We're still messing up that beauty.  We're still trying to hide our failures from God. God is still reaching out to us to extend the forgiveness and healing that we so desperately need. 

It is a timeless story, and an endless one. 

But end it Today.  Hide from God no longer.  Tell Him today where you've messed up and where you've been messed up.  Tell Him where you're hurting.  Tell Him where you feel exposed and naked. 

Today, step into the loving and healing presence of the Living God.  Let Him cover you with His grace.  Let Him arm you with His power.  Let Him clothe you with His love. 

Focus Scripture: 'As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. Just as a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.'  Psalm 103:12-13
