A lot of times when outburst takes place in our lives and attitudes flare…it really shows whats ripening and taking place on the inside…kind of reminds me of this stripping stuff that we had purchased for our bathroom…and it looked really good when we first stuck it on around the tub…but after a few months the water began to seep out from under it and make a complete mess all in the bathroom floor..so of course this morning…I pulled that stuff up…and could not believe the mess that was under it…really disgusting to say the least…we couldn’t see all of that crud just by looking at it…it still looked really pretty and white…but the thing that bothered me the most was the fact that it was making a mess in our bathroom floor and I did not like that at all…so as I began pulling it off, I couldn’t believe the mess that was underneath it…bunches of mold and mildew….and at that moment the Lord begins to speak to me…and He says isn’t that like a lot of my children..they dress it all up to look really good on the outside…they walk the walk and for some they even know how to talk the talk, if you know what I mean…but underneath from time to time…them little outburst and them so called little attitudes begin to flare up..kinda of like that water that began to seep out from underneath that stripping stuff around the tub…but as for me guys, I am always more concerned with whats going on in the inside of me..because I do know that the Lord looks at my heart..and yeah, people do look at that outward appearance..1 Samuel 16:7…but I say that the inside is way more important ever than that outside…cause that inside is gonna live on forever and ever…so today I just feel like that people should uncover it all to the Lord..all of everything that you are…that you should make that heart right again with God..that you should rid yourself from anything and everything that is drawing you away from the Lord…and that if that mold and mildew is growing in your life…than by all means I pray that you go and get yourself all washed up..and cleaned up for Jesus…for a sound mind is such a beautiful thing to have…and a clean heart is so wonderful as well…for we all should seek the Lord and ask Him to create in us clean and pure hearts and renew a right spirit within us…Psalm 51:10…that we can walk and live in freedom..that we can be at peace not only with ourselves but with all men…Praise the Lord…so let us put off the former conversation of that old man which is corrupt and full of deceitful lust…and let us put on that new man and his ways…which is created after God in righteousness and true holiness…letting us as well to always speak the truth…Ephesians 4:22-25…for I love the song that goes like this..I’ll tell you the best thing I ever did do, I laid of that old coat and put on that new..Now this coat, it fits me and keeps me so warm, It’s good in the winter, and it’s good in the storm, My savior has dressed me in His garments so rare, and He fills me with His glory, His image I’ll always bear!!…Well, Hallelujah!!! so let us all make sure to keep them robes of ours white as white can be…for that once again is always ours and our choices weather to keep them white or maybe keep them a little tarnished..as for me I pray mine stays white…and that’s a job guys…but the Lord never promised that our lives and our serving of Him would be easy…for my sweet sister-in-law told me this years ago…she said, you know Mandi we all have on daily these white glorious and beautiful robes…and daily it’s our choices to whether or not we keep them white or not..and isn’t that the truth guys…so it’s like this…daily picture yourself in a white robe spiritually speaking here guys…and do your very best to keep it all clean and white..for we are to be set apart…we are to shine as brightly as we can…and always know that we can only do that when we bare forth the Lord and we are made right with Him…for the eye, the word of God says is the light of the body, it says therefore if your eye be single, then your whole body shall be full of light..But if your eye be evil, your whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!…Matthew 6:22-23…and I pray that none of us let our little lights dull, dim or even completely fade away and burn out…and I can never answer for anyone whether or not their lights are shining as they should be…but only each and every individual can do that for themselves…so by all means please keep your lamps burning guys for the Lord our God…for we would never want to be caught without that oil in our lamps..Matthew 25:8…if by chance the Lord would come suddenly as the word of God speaks of…but I pray that we are always watching, praying and waiting on that great and noble day of the Lord our Gods returning..1 Thessalonians 5:2…so let us be ready…let us be watchful…and watchful at all times…In Jesus’ name I do ask and pray…Amen and Amen!!!…Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
