I saw a lady with a tee shirt on that said: "I'm looking for trouble" and I immediately pictured someone going up to her saying: "Well you found it." What she wore was almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Your clothes are not your identity but they are a reflection and they put out a certain "vibe" or sign. It's like your advertising.
So I wondered, as a Christian, what am I advertising? Am I putting on Christ? Am I clothing myself with compassion, love, peace. What will they see and who will be attracted when I wear the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:11-18)?

Isaiah 52:1
Awake, awake, Zion, clothe yourself with strength! Put on your garments of splendor, Jerusalem, the holy city.
Colossians 3:12
Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe
yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and
patience.
Romans 13:13-14
Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and
drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension
and jealousy. Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.
Ephesians 4:24
Put on your new nature, created to be like God--truly righteous and holy.
Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
These are the things we should clothe ourselves with. What kind of message are we sending?
