Buttons And Bows

Mary Clark

I want to talk to My dear children about buttons and bows today.  You might ask what I could possible say about buttons and bows that would tie in with your life.  I will tell you:

I have created My children to walk holy before Me.  I have given them all that is necessary to accomplish this feat.  I gave My life and I filled you with My Spirit – the promise – the wonder of your God living in you, which is the hope of glory.  Now, you say, “Father, You gave us these things, we know, because Your word is true, but I find it difficult to walk holy before You on an ongoing basis.”  I tell you this truly, beloved, it will get easier as you progress.  It will get easier as you draw closer to Me, I promise. 

But hear these words of caution:  The enemy would like to see you stumble, and he will do all that is in his power to trip you.  Remember this when temptation comes your way.  No matter how good something may look, beloved, it may be the tempter, and I want you aware of this fact.

I have made a way for you to walk holy before Me.  I have given to you the seal of My Spirit.  I reside in your heart.  I enjoy residing in your heart, making My corrections here and there.  I enjoy seeing that heart come into agreement with Me.  I want you to know that you are not too difficult for your Beloved.  Nothing is too difficult for Me, and I can do absolute wonders with a willing heart.

In this day, many are seeking to walk holy before the Lord God Almighty – the One Who is Holy – the One Who gave His life that all might walk in agreement with His Holy Word.  This is most pleasing to your Father.  Look on the days ahead and know that I am at work purifying your heart and bringing it into agreement with Me.  This should please you greatly.  And know this too, beloved:  I am adding some buttons and I am adding some bows in the process.  Now, what could I mean by that proclamation?  I tell you, beloved, that I am adding some things to your walk that will not only look good, but will be useful – useful in your walk, and useful in leading others into My kingdom.

I am doing a fine work!  I am bringing all to a completion.  I want you to know that these things that I am adding to your walk will be most beneficial, but they will also bear a certain attraction.  Look on this attraction as a signal from Me that I am doing a miraculous work in your heart, and enabling you to draw others into My fold by the beauty that lies in your heart.  No, your heart cannot be seen, per se.  That is true, dear one.  But the reflection of your God, Who resides in your heart, can be seen.  I can be seen through the smile on your face, the tenderness of your touch, and the light in your eyes.  This is what I mean when I say that I am adding some buttons and bows to your walk.  I am adding something that is both attractive and useful.  What could be more useful that shining forth the light of My glory from your eyes?  What could be more useful that having your Holy Master touch another through your hands, or speak words of tenderness through your words – through your voice?

Yes, it is true.  I am adding some lovely finishing touches to My beloved in this hour – finishing touches that you may keep for eternity.  These finishing touches could be classified as buttons and bows, which can be lovely to the eye and useful in your walk.  These buttons and bows can draw attention to your walk in a way that you never dreamed possible.  So look forward to these pleasant additions coming from My hand, and know, beloved, that your lifestyle is about to change – change for the better, and it is all coming by My hand – by My hand adding these sweet and simple touches of buttons and bows.

Let Me tell you something about these bows:  They are multi-colored.  They are BIG, and they are to be yearned for.  Yearn for the bows, but know that the buttons will hold you closer in My arms than you ever dreamed of being.  This is My goal – to see you decorated with these gifts of loveliness and usefulness.  It is My goal to see you walk My chosen path for you, fully aware of the greatest of gifts that your Father has to offer – more of Himself – more of His love, radiating from your heart , and more of His will shining through the life that you have chosen to lead.

I am calling to you, beloved. Come into this place in Me of great beauty, and know with every step that you take, that you are drawing closer than you ever expected into the haven of wonder that I have prepared for those who have sought after Me – the Holy One – with a whole heart!!!
