YOU decorated my Life!

I had a friend write to me (after sharing my tree with her ~ previous blog), "YOu my friend ARE an Ornament!! You "decorate"!! YOu bring life! and "light"! Thank you for the constant... pointing to the Light!"

Wow! She did nothing more than provoke my mind onto a whole new line of thinking! For that is exactly what God has done for US!!!

He's adorned us.

Dressed us.

And Light-ed us up!

All so that we can be a display of His splendor and live for His Glory!

It reminded me of the song, which I'm sure will be better at saying what I want to than I can...

You Decorated My Life

All my life was a paper... once plain, pure and white

Till You moved with Your pen changin' moods now and then

Till the balance was right.

Then You added some music, every note was in place

And anybody could see all the changes in me by the look on my face.


And You decorated my life, created a world where dreams are a part.

And You decorated my life by painting Your love all over my heart,

You decorated my life.


Like a rhyme with no reason, in an unfinished song

There was no harmony, life meant nothin' to me, until You came along.

And You brought out the colors, what a gentle surprise

Now I'm able to see all the things life can be shinin' soft in Your eyes


And You decorated my life, created a world where dreams are a part.

And You decorated my life by painting Your love all over my heart.

You decorated my life.

For after all, He is the Author of our Faith. And not only that, our Creator can draw!!!!! He can make dance! He can make sing! He can change a heart! He can change a mood! He can bring out colors! He can give us dreams! He can bring Life to anything! He can bring Light out of any and all dark! He can work all things out for good! He's into making beautiful! Then after all that, as the song sings, "anybody can see the changes in me by the look on my face!" I so want to reflect Jesus in mine when my Refiner is finished burning off all the fake, burning away all that fades, and burning out all the impurities in me until only He is seen!
