New Clothes - Journaling by Linda Garmon

Read Colossians 3:1-16 - So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God (Col. 3:12-16).

Linda - Lord, I wait quietly for you and I am filled with a calming peace. I long for your tangible presence, however, I know you are here with me, beside me, and inside me whether I feel you or not. Thank you for your Word. What do you want to say to me about these verses?

Vision - I see myself, and I am wearing a costume... A Jesus costume. The face is my face, but I have Jesus features... hair, beard, and clothes. It makes me laugh.

Jesus - Beloved one, your real life is hidden inside Me, for I am Life. Outside of Me, there is only sorrow and death. If a negative attitude tries to take root in you, you will feel my disapproval inside you. This is not condemnation, beloved one, this is conviction. Conviction is the correction of a loving Father to His beloved child. So, throw away anger, and any ill will you have, for these are things that attack the mind like an itchy garment. If you delay you may find wrong words escaping your mouth. It’s natural to feel anger at times, but it takes the supernatural to feel anger and throw it away. I will help you. Ask Me for help.

Jesus - Sink into your new nature for it was made for you and it’s a perfect fit. Clothe yourself in glory character. Snuggle up inside of tenderhearted mercy, kindness, gentleness, and patience. Learn true humility as you lean on my strength for everything. Allow me to flow through you, loving through you, healing through you, and delivering through you. Through all of this, you are renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become just like Him to a lost and dying world.
Linda - This is my heart’s desire, Lord.
Jesus - Mine too, beloved!
