My dress was silvery yet white in color. It was long with a full skirt. In the skirt I could see many shiny stones, and on the bottom edge of the hem it sparkled as if it had been dusted with gold glitter. My shoes were clear yet gold in color. The top of my dress was covered in a lace of colors, so that each time I moved you saw something different. My hair was long and combed in a way I had never seen it before, each hair was perfect in color, small yellow roses were stuck in it with small curls to frame my face. My face was flawless, no wrinkles or age spots were to be found. It glowed with so much joy and yet peace was what you found.
As I rocked and sang the children no longer ran and played in the field but they began to come and sit and lay near the chair; some smiled, some napped, some sang with me, and some even laughed. If I quit singing or rocking the children would get up and start running and romping and playing again.
The Lord then told me to look in the mirror and tell him what I saw. I saw a middle aged woman with wrinkles and flaws on her hands and face and had made so many mistakes.
The Lord was trying to help me so that I could explain to you, just how he sees exactly each and every one of us look to Him. He doesn’t see our flaws or mistakes, once we repent with an earnest heart and turn from our mistakes, Mark 11 says ... if we don’t believe the word in our heart then our words has no power. You must believe in your heart before it can come to pass. II Corinthians 10 says ... take a thought captive by using the word of God. We must learn how to control our thought life.
When the Lord showed me this vision he told me, “This is the you I’m trying to bring you to. He said, I don’t see you with carnal eyes I see you with spiritual eyes and to the fullest of your ability. I don’t need what you lost, for I want to use what you have left, I will bless you in ways you never dreamed possible. Use what you have and I will take it and turn it into the supernatural but you must trust me. This will only come through prayer and fasting. Obey my word for you are my child and I am your God.”
In Psalms 91 it says He will keep you in all your ways. No mater where we go or what we do, He is there. God wants to turn things around for us. It isn’t over until we hear the great trumpet sound. The word has only one message throughout the Bible, obey my word and be blessed or ignore my word and be cursed.
There are times when we need to give God an anyway praise, when all seems to be lost or going wrong, at the top of our lungs shout “Hallelujah anyhow!!! When you shout you are holding up your shield of faith and the things which the devil is trying to hurt and deceive you with, will seem pointless to you. He no longer has a hold on you.
Each time we yield to the will of God and let Him use us, whether it’s in a song, with music, in teaching or preaching, writing, cleaning the church, and even listening to others God sews another stone into our garment that we wear. He doesn’t use threading or has to measure it, for He threads it with Love.
When a man has stayed with and Loved one woman for 60 or 70 years he doesn’t see her wrinkles, flaws, gray hair, no teeth, or her slow unsteady steps. He sees the same young vibrant and beautiful woman he fell in love with many years ago. This is how our Lord sees us each and every day. He will always see us with His heart.
