It’s Friday night, and you are getting ready to go on your first date with someone you have never met before. The first thing we all think of is “What am I going to wear?” This can be nerve racking on so many levels. OH THE HORROR! OH THE HORROR!
Will it be the purple floral patterned dress or the
dangerous red dress? Both dresses send
two totally different messages. The purple dress says Mary Poppins is in the
house, while the red dress is speaking in tongues (LOL).
The truth is that, what we wear matters.
Fresh to Death
“Fresh to death” in the urban dictionary literally means
well dressed, fashionable, and cool till the very end. I use this term quite
often to compliment my family and friends.
The immediate response that I get back from them is a beaming smile.
With Swag on a thousand trillion, they start strutting around the room with
undeniable confidence. Your clothes
should enhance what is already on the inside of you. Where quietness and
confidence dwell, there is strength. Have you ever noticed that when models
walk down the runway, they don’t have to say one word? We just know that they
are confident.
In the book of Ephesians 4 verse 24 it says to “put on the
new man”. The Greek term for “put on” is
enduo which means “to be clothed”. In
order to be able to wear new attire we must first throw away the old clothes
with holes in them. I will rock HOLY but
not holey! Our new clothes will be
stitched with love, joy, peace, patience, virtue, and kindness. When we put them on, we become untouchable
making us the best dressed in the room.
Decide to stand out
I’m convinced that the best choice of clothes that we can wear
to any event is our new man. It takes no time at all, and literally in seconds
you are made new. All you have to do each morning when you get up is say “I’m
putting on my new man”. Brand new
beginnings start with small consistent changes.
Love your hearts outJ
