So the other other day I bumped into an old dress that I had
bought two years ago. Surprising enough when I bought this dress, i thought I
would look nice in it.
Well to my shock the first time I wore it, I knew it was a
no no go zone! I looked horrible and ridiculous in it. However it has survived in some wardrobe
since then and I only managed to see it last week. My first thought was, I need
to give it away, what on earth is it still doing in my house, but then a quick
thought ran through my mind-what if i try
and see how it looks for the last time before I give it away?
A good Sunday morning and I decide to just try it out and to
my utter shock, I look great in it….and now I love it, I love it and I love it.
Then I had one of those Holy Ghost aha moments and I heard Him say to me.
“That dress has not changed, but you have changed. You like
yourself a lot better than you did two years ago!”
What? Did I hear that right? Yes. I had an absolute
conviction in my heart that yes, the dress had not changed, but I had changed.
Two years ago, I may not have been so confident about myself partly due to baby weight and useless issues but I have been on a journey with the Lord, I am more
grateful to God for the person I am right now, I have learned to like what I
see in the mirror…may be not 100% but I am doing way much better guys! By the
way, I am talking about the same me in size and weight over the two years
duration.
I had my good lesson then-Well, the next time you buy
yourself a dress…you are likely to love it better if you are at peace with the
wearer.
