10. Color Coordinated
Slide 10 of 10
There is a certain glory we give to God when we take the time to coordinate ourselves to stand in His presence. They are the ones who seem comfortable in their own skin, because they’ve dedicated every square inch of it to Christ. A matching outfit or ironed shirt isn’t required to enter the presence of God. Scuffed shoes and an unshaven face are equally loved by God.
It’s not about being loved more or feeling worthy. We know we are loved, and we know He calls us worthy; In fact, He calls us friends. Dressing to impress Jesus doesn’t “impress” Him, but it’s an OK way to give Him glory. He deserves our praise …our best effort. Coming from the self-proclaimed favorite himself, John reminds,
“I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you” (John 15:15).
