Old Winter Dresses and God
About a year after my confession of Christ an incident occurred which greatly strengthened my faith, and led me to look to God as a Father in a new way.
When Easter Sunday morning came it was so warm only spring clothes could be worn. My sister and I decided at breakfast that we would not go to church, as we had only our old winter dresses. Going to my room, I turned to my Bible to study it, when it opened at the sixth chapter of Matthew, and my eye rested on these words: “Why take ye thought for raiment . . . seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you.”
It was as if God spoke the words directly to me. I determined to go to church, even if I had to humiliate myself by going in my old winter dress. The Lord was true to his promise; I can still feel the power the resurrection messages had upon my heart that day so long ago. And further, on the following day a box came from a distant aunt, containing not only new dresses but much else that might well be included in the “all these things.”
I was just looking for information about this when I came by your post. I’m only stopping by to say that I very much liked seeing this post, it’s very clear and well written. Are you going to blog more about this? It seems like there is more depth here for later posts.
Yes, I am going to blog more about real life testimonials. In fact, we are currently inviting more and more people to write their testimonials in my blog. We will put links for those who left their testimonials. Links to their churches, christianity related organizations, etc.
