Purple is It!

Have you ever gotten confused about what to wear? Ever gotten up early in the morning, washed up, hair dried, underwear on, then oops! You don’t know what next to wear?
Don’t know about you but I have been there a couple of times. There times when I look at my wardrobe, seeing all my regular clothes I ask myself, ” isn’t there anything else in here? Anything simple yet out of the box?
Most times, this happens when I just feel like making an impression not for anybody but just for me. I just want to feel good about myself irrespective of what’s happening and important irrespective of where am going. I know that most fashion magazines will say, “Go for anything red on days like this or a tint of pink wouldn’t be bad “ but I say Purple is It!
Any shade of purple that reminds me of royalty. I really don’t care if it the dark shade or the light one just as long as it reminds me of royalty. You know, colors they say have a way of your influencing mood and ever since I got a purple shirt as a birthday present I’ve been inclined to believe so.
I loved that shirt! It infuses a certain air of confidence in me. Especially when worn with a black pants or skirt. With hint of white or going all out white with a purple outfit it’s as if I am a queen walking on a red carpet, greeting the people with a dainty smile and a royal wave.
Most importantly, when I put on that shirt, I remember that am fearfully and wonderfully made no matter what the world says. I know that I am the apple of His eyes and have a great inheritance in saint not to forgetting in incomparable power giving to me.
You see, I’ve learnt to know that sometimes you just have to remind yourself of who you are not minding events around. We leave in a world that tries to stifle who we are by trying to get us to a point where we feel timid and intimidated just because we are Christians.
We try to hide our ID and flow with the tide so we don’t get swept by it. We try not to sound so spiritual that we keep quiet and fade to the background shaking our heads in sorrow at the decay but too afraid to do something. Well, I say enough!
I am going to make my own fashion statement and that is : I am a Christian, an heir of God’s kingdom, an occupant of this earth till He comes, I am as wise as the serpent but gentle as a dove, I have a sound mind and not the spirit of fear and I am not ignorant of the devices of the devil nor intimidated by them!
So, whenever I wear my purple shirt, I am reminded of my fashion statement and I walk and talk tall about Christ, His love for me and my duty to the kingdom.
Do you need courage to talk to someone about Christ? Do you feel you are loosing your ID as a Christian? Are you confused on what to wear? Then, purple is it!

Dear Barbara,
the article is not about purple answering spiritual questions but about the color reminding us of who we are in christ.Reminding us not to be afraid to be known as christians but to be bold and stand up for who we are. thanks alot for the comment
