The Dress God Gave
“And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
~Philippians 4:19
It wasn’t a need, really. It was just something I wanted.
I wanted a “princess dress” for my little daughter, because I knew it was the desire of her heart.
But we couldn’t afford a new one. I think I had mentioned it in my prayers, but I honestly can’t remember if I had thought to ask for it.
But He heard the desire of my heart, anyway. And He gave me this dress at the thrift store for under $2. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it tossed on a pile of boxes. It was perfect. The perfect color, perfect size, perfect amount of shininess.
I think she looks beautiful in it. She’s my little princess.
So thankful for a Father who hears and answers the desires of our hearts.
Thanks, Tanya! 🙂

God is good! He hears and answers our prayers. Your daughter is beautiful.
Your daughter is glowing in her beautiful dress! I love that God answers our needs and even sometimes our wants. The Lord answered my prayers for a want, that was around $100, by tucking it in the corner of the thrift store for my mom to find for $5. And to top it off, it was half price day, so God gave me my want fo $2.50. It's He Good?!
She's beautiful, Joy. 🙂
Blessings,
