A beautiful poem, by a beautiful woman

The following is a poem composed by a woman in The Word who would like to remain anonymous, I know you will be as blessed and moved by it as I am, in light of our study of God as Jehovah Jireh, God as the Father who gives his children everything they will ever need:

A poem from Community CRC's

"Women in the Word" Bible study

"We are learning how God provides everything we need by studying the Israelite's trek through the desert. God provided their food, water, clothing , and best of all His presence as they were wandering. As women, we can get a little hung up on life's material needs, such as what shall I wear? The covering God freely gives us is much fuller & more beautiful than anything we could think of providing for ourselves!!

What Shall I Wear?

I look into the closet that overflows,

and feel as if I have no clothes.

Nothing to wear that would reflect,

Your Glory, Your Honor and my Respect.

I come today with nothing to wear,

Naked before you, my shame I bear.

What can I offer, what can I give,

Something to show You the thanks I live?

Fool that I am, I can't find it here;

The clothes that I need are the ones You bear!

Clean, white linen* your hand proffers,

Surpassing all choices my closet offers.

I take from Your hand the garment you give,

Your Salvation, Your Righteousness, in

these clothes, I can live!

*Fine linens, bright and clean was given her to wear. Revelations 9:8"
