Purple Robe of Love for
Children
When you think of the color purple,
Do you think royalty? Do you think
That it might have been the color
Of the robe that Jesus had on before
Going to the cross? Would it be wrong
To call that robe “Love?”
The father put his robe on his lost son
That came back. He did that to show him
Love and that he was welcomed back in
The family no matter what he did. He
Didn’t keep it to himself because his son
Didn’t deserve it. Yet what are we doing?
Are we doing just that? Keeping that robe
To ourselves?
If we would to put the purple robe on
Children, what would that make them?
If we showed them God’s Amazing Love,
It would give them Hope. It would also
Give them Love and Trust. It would also
Give them the confidence to grow stronger
For God. They could believe in a Father who
Loves them too death.
They could become kings and queens for
Kingdom and their country or home. They
Could feel loved because they know someone
Died for them that He loved them that much.
Jesus gave us His purple robe when we were
Adopted in the Family of God so why are we
Keeping it and not sharing it?
We need to be out there hunting out the
Children and wrapping them in that same
Purple robe of royalty. It’s not ours to
Keep, but God’s to give away. God just
Trust that we will give it away. We might
Have to go to the ends of the earth but it
Would be worth it seeing that one smile
On that little child’s face. What are you
Going to do with your purple robe?
Keep it or make a king or queen out of
It?
