The love that I am wearing is the Love that is unfailing, unconditional, everlasting, infinite, it's beyond what you can imagine. I trully believe that this statement by Dieter F. Uchtdorf is even an understatement: Think of the purest, most all-consuming love you can imagine. Now multiply that love by an infinite amount—that is the measure of God’s love for you.
But what am I wearing before this ball gown of Love? It's the filthy rag of being lost. I thought that I know love. I thought that what I'm wearing is the best that I could have. I was pretty much used to it because of wearing it for years. The insecurities, "I-am-good-for-nothing" thoughts, the idolatry, the worries and all. I was trusting in my own dress of kindness and sincerity to save me. Not knowing that a ballgown of Love is just waiting for me all this time waiting for me to claim who I really am - a princess.
As I claimed it, as He authored my faith, I am now a Princess wearing the ballgown because when I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior (it means He's the one who calls the shots now and I stopped trusting in myself anymore. I can't be the Savior of myself), God became my Father. He adopted me. I finally have that sense of "belongingness" and being cherished. Afterall, He loved me enough to give His all.
I want to wear this everyday and smile to the heavens as my accessory. He gave this to me and all I ever want now is for other girls to wear theirs.
It transformed how I view myself because I now see myself as how He sees me - precious and such a treasure.
Just like Cinderella's? But mine is not a fairytale it's the real thing. Jesus makes all the difference.
