I love young people and urban culture. Heck I love old and middle-aged people and rural and suburban cultures. I think I just love people and culture- period. Young, urban people are full of life, creative and a bit edgy- just enough to guard against stagnancy.
I was recently out at a store and heard one of the young men tell his friend "man check her drip." He was admiring this sister's attire who was carrying Hermes, wearing Burberry, and walking in Christian Louboutins. I think she had a little Cartier, Chanel, and Patek Philippe sprinkled in as accessories.
"Drip" and "dripping" are words popularized by Atlanta, GA rappers such as Gunna and Young Thug. If you're "dripping" it means you wear "drip." Drip is high end clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc.
"Drip" is beautiful and nice to enjoy. As Believers, before we put on any other "drip" we should focus on robing ourselves with the virtues of God. Apostle Paul encouraged the church to do so in Colossians 3:12-14.
"You are always and dearly loved by God! So robe yourself with virtues of God, since you have been divinely chosen to be holy. Be merciful as you endeavor to understand others, and be compassionate, showing kindness toward all. Be gentle and humble, unoffendable in your patience with others. Tolerate the weaknesses of those in the family of faith, forgiving one another in the same way you have been graciously forgiven by Jesus Christ. If you find fault with someone, release this same gift of forgiveness to them. For love is supreme and must flow through each of these virtues. Love becomes the mark of true maturity." TPT
Paul lists some of the virtues of the Lord all of which we should emulate. We're reminded in this text that the Lord is:
Holy
Merciful
Industrious
Understanding
Selfless
Compassionate
Kind
Collaborative
Gentle
Humble
Unoffendable
Patient
Forebearing
Empathetic
Family-oriented
Kingdom-minded
Forgiving
Merciful
Loving
What are you wearing today? Check your "drip"!
