To grasp a concept I need to think in pictures, or colours. Recently a friend and I were speaking about honour and she asked me “what colour is honour for you”?
Magenta or red – both strong bold colours I love, but not the colour of honour. I have been thinking about it in the weeks since she asked. Yesterday, out in the warm sun on a beautiful spring day I heard the whisper – the colour of honour is GOLD.
Oxford describes honour as: respect, regard, mark of privilege, integrity, righteousness, esteem, moral identity.
The Hebrew word is Kabod (Kaw-bade), which means weight, splendor, copiousness, one’s inner character or reputation.
Gold represents:
- Eternal deity
- Stands the test of time
- Elements with not deteriorate it
- It is symbolic of sacredness
- Faith is tested through the elements to become this colour
- It is a primary colour (yellow) and we cannot create it, it is.
Honour your tears
Honour your story
Honour your heart
I will allow my tears to be gold
I will allow my story to be painted in gold
I will allow my heart to be bathed in gold
I will allow my body, all of it, to be gold
I will allow the sacredness of His breath to be the gold within me.
I invite Them to come and paint the gold of honour into this day
I ask that my words, worship, and dance will bring gold to others today.
