Church Clothes
I am created in God’s image.
Who spoke the universe into its very existence.
Who carefully crafted me while I was in my mother’s womb.
Who continues to have unconditional love for me, even though I am broken.
Broken in my eyes but never in his, for I am covered in the blood of Jesus Christ.
But,
I must dress up.
I must spend hours painting my face and carefully choosing clothes fit for church.
Why do I do this?
Why do I bring myself to tears because I don’t feel like I measure up?
I compare myself to others.
I spend more time worrying about how I look than devoting the day to the Lord.
I feel beaten by society and the stigma that I must wear “church clothes”.
The Lord does not care about my clothes he cares about my heart.
I wish I could wear what I want and instead devote my entire attention to God and not to society’s pressures.
