The Ornament

For you I've awaited a lifetime

in whose heart is clarity

every virtue in you is realized

individual traits of a rarity

 

Your foresight understands ages

like gems your facets reflect

every spectrum covered rainbow

in the things you did not neglect

 

You have focused upon the real life

sought the finest treasures to find

found the path to eternal glory

your approval by God kept in mind

 

Every essence of your person I savor

like sweet smelling smoke of incense

you have kept your garments of whiteness

and washed your hands in innocence 

 

In every course followed your Master

did seek every lesson he taught

applied them with skill and precision

and reigned in your every thought

 

You listened to every Word spoken

and dug into the mysteries ground

wrote them upon the flesh of heart

your possessions as they were bound

 

You have removed all that's discordant

polished every jewel to a shine

placed them in a filigreed setting

the traits that will last for all time

 

How carefully you took in instruction

each quality conformed to what's right

did arrange a garment worth wearing

each quality lustrous in light

 

Your baring of it's graces are lovely

within your heart there lay no fraud

I've exalted you with rejoicing

You have put on the Love of our God

 

1Cor 2:

Wisdom from the Spirit

6 Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. 7 But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But, as it is written,“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,    nor the heart of man imagined,what God has prepared for those who love him”�"10 these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. 11 For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. 13 And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.[d]

14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. 15 Thespiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. 16 “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
