"I delight greatly in the Lord; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. (Isaiah 61:10 NIV)
He has clothed us in His robe of righteousness... God's righteousness is a huge gift, bought with the blood of Christ. I know it's extremely hard to think of yourself as "righteous," but in God's eyes, if you are His child, you are righteous. When your behavior doesn't match up to your privileged kingdom position, instead of trying to throw off the robe of righteousness, throw off the wrong behavior. Keep your eyes on God as you learn to walk in righteousness!! It won't be easy, but it will be worth it!!
