True Colors

From time to time, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL), there is something I do. 

Especially on our day of worship.  Like today!

You can probably guess what I'm referring to.

Music!  Because we can worship through music!

There's a song I've known for a long time, that I haven't shared with you, here on LwL, because it truly wasn't Christian music.  Even so, I decided to share it with you, because I could relate to our Lord, even so.

I hadn't heard it in a while.  However, a Facebook (FB) friend of mine, shared it on Google+, and I was able to listen to it.

The song was written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly, and is sung on this link with lyrics for you to see, by Cyndi Lauper.  It's called, True Colors:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7xjYeWOhbU.  Just so you know, my FB friend shared a different link, that I found to be beautiful, but since it didn't lyrics on the link, I didn't share it; here it is, if you'd like to listen to it:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=39&v=PR3Rzmr9Iqg.  The lyrics are below.

True Colors

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing

If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

[Whisper:] Can't remember, when I last saw you laugh.

If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors
True colors are shining through

I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow.

I see true colors in people.  Yes, I see the true color of love within people.

Thinking of this, made me think of 1 John 4:18, "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love."

Those who I have known who have the true color of love, have the love of God within them.

Yet, some people don't feel that way.  Some people have fear. 

As we read in today's Bible verse, there is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment.  He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

How are we made perfect in love?

By loving God.  Who we love, because He first loved us.

I love God.

Do you?


Until next time...
