Dear Servant

Dear Servant,

            I have seen the fashions of human kind.  Since my son Adam first tried to cover his shame with leaves I have watched the fashions of humankind.  Some dress to appear beautiful or flaunt their sexuality.  Others cover their whole body in an attempt to hide their shame.  Some cut, color, and mutilate their bodies, but it all comes down to the same thing: man without God is naked and exposed and shamed by his separation from me.  Clothing is just one way man tries to cover this shame.

            When I look on you however, I see the clothing of my son, forgiveness in all of its glory.  These clothes, covering you completely in the sacrificial offering of my son hides all shame and guilt.  It covers all wrongs and extends mercy to all guilt.  With it, you can stand in my presence and feel no shame or remorse, only my love and acceptance.  You are covered.

Clothing you in Forgiveness, I AM
