God loves to clothe His creation in beautiful dress. Daisies are now in profusion, clothing the grass together with other dainty flowers. If He loves to do this how much more His own people, as Jesus said. Nature has no casual clothes. Even weeds have their symmetry and beauty. We should dress in similar fashion.
In Ezekial 16 He clothes His chosen bride in fine raiment, something every girl dreams of. Yet she still plays the whore, turning after other lovers.
Only those who are dressed in the raiment He provides will be at the wedding feast. Perhaps another metaphor is fruit. We cannot go empty-handed.
