Rivers of Peace
8mm China Silk 22x72
28 May 2008

I was at a gathering at a friend's home one evening when I was first introduced to the woman who received Rivers of Peace. We had several mutual friends - all of whom are big fans of Dyed4you. We talked scarves for quite a while, so I wasn't surprised when after the party she sent in an order. With it was a note saying she was tempted to tell me her favorite colors, but wanted to see what God would give me for her so she was resisting the temptation!

I prayed and then created what God gave me and then documented the word He gave me to go with it:

The name of your scarf is Rivers of Peace. The colors in your scarf are:

• Cayman island green representing praise
  
• Green representing hope
  
• Electric blue representing a release
  
• Turquoise representing life-giving flow of the Holy Spirit
  
• White representing peace
  
• Teal representing increase
  
• Pearl shimmer representing angelic presence
  

The verse with your scarf is Isaiah 66:12 “For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream…”

Your scarf has been prayed over and anointed with the Scent of Heaven’s Everlasting Joy, which is used as a reminder your joy is not dependent on your circumstances, it is a gift from God. Here’s a little more about this oil:

The joy of the Lord is our strength. It is important that we keep our joy at all times. Joy is not the same thing as happiness. Happiness is dependent on circumstances, whereas joy is something that flows from your heart as a result of the love the Lord has poured in.

I pray this blesses you!

I packaged up the scarf and dropped it in the mail and then I emailed her to let her know it was on its way and to ask what she'd been "hoping" for. She replied that her favorite color was green. I smiled to myself knowing it at least had some of her favorite color and then waited to hear her response when the scarf arrived... and her response was wonderful!

I received the scarf! It is beautiful. The colors are perfect. I mentioned green is my favorite color. What I didn't mention was that the ocean is one of my favorite places. This scarf reminds me of the beautiful colors of the gulf coast.

When I see the green representing hope, I have tears in my eyes. This has been a very tumultuous year for us and it has been very hard to have hope much less joy. I was sitting on the couch feeling quite low and the Lord reminded me of a prophecy spoken over me years ago. The Lord said that I was as a little girl and I was standing next to a beautiful Christmas tree, the tree had presents under it and as I looked, I could see presents with my name on them. The Lord told me as I was sitting on the couch, "it's time for you to open a gift." I could see in the spirit the package and as it opened, I heard the Lord say, "I am giving you hope."

The scarf you made and sent is a confirmation from the Lord for me to remember, I have hope. Thank you, dear one, for your ministry. The scarf not only looks lovely but smells wonderful.
