Who’s your Decorator?

God is a decorator.  He loves to decorate our lives.  How do we know this?
When we let Christ come to live in your heart, he starts to redecorate.  As he changes our mind he decorates our heart.  Our heart then becomes a portrait of grace.  Anger is replaced with Loads of Love, un-forgiveness is replaced by Songs of Joy. 

Think of this, when the “Carpenter” steps in he assesses the damage to see what  wood needs replacing.  Sometimes there’s so much damage that demolition is required before rebuilding can take place.  There are times when God has to rebuild our lives, heart and mind from the ground up with a strong foundation, a foundation of courage and strength. 

What does the window look like that you’re looking through? 

What wallpaper are you looking at? 

God wants to change the wallpaper of our lives.  He wants to change the window treatments and clean the window we’re looking through.  He wants to give us “windows of blessing” and “wallpaper of truth.”
 
God loves us. 

He wants to change the portrait of ourselves that we see and he shows us that in Romans 8:1 “therefore there is now no guilt for those who are in Christ Jesus.  For the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.”  God is a loving and compassionate God that is the reason for our transformation.  God is the “one who is” and God is the “one who causes” us to be transformed from this world. 

God is Love and HIS love covers a multitude of sin.
