I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
Here's my advice: get the real gold from me — the kind that's been tested through fire — so you can actually be wealthy. Get clean clothes from me so you're properly dressed and not walking around exposed and embarrassed. And let me heal your eyes so you can actually see what's going on.
Stop settling for fake wealth, fake covering, and fake clarity — God's got the real deal waiting for you.
