Today's poem was not written from today's "Jesus Calling."
I wrote it several years ago, but it fits the theme so well.
THE CHRISTIAN DRESS
Life on earth is transient
here we can never stay.
To the Christian it's just a dressing room
for some eternal day.
A place to clothe our soul
in the house God loaned us for a time,
And the garment we 're to wear
should be a very special kind.
First the gown of love
no other can compare,
Then the robe of faith
that we all should wear.
The shoes of steadfastness
we should wear upon our feet,
Then the cloak of hope
should make our garment most complete.
And when our souls are dressed
the way God thinks that ought to be
He simply calls us home
to live eternally!
