“So this morning I spent about an hour or so cleaning our fish tank..and by looking at the water and even looking at the tank you would think that it was pretty clean and what not..Amen..but I tell ya guys once I start draining some of that water..and moving things around..a whole lot of stuff starts to surface..and let me tell ya it’s disgusting to say the least..but of course I begin to think about us and our own lives..and at how surfacing looking everything looks great..Amen..it all is put together..were put together..and we look nice..we talk nice..and so forth..but then deep down on the inside of us..I wondered and question who are we really?..Amen..I mean I know were children of the Lord..but are we cleaned up on the inside of who we are for the Lord?..are we white as snow on the inside?..are we pure..holy..washed in His love from the inside out?..Amen..or do we merely keep pushing down those things that need to honestly be dealt with in our lives?..thinking that by chance they just go away..or that they really don’t matter anyhow..Amen..but you know everything matters..including the person in whom we are on the inside..Amen..because God says it’s not the outside of the cup that defiles the man..but it’s the inside of the cup..Matthew 23:26/Mark 7:15/Luke 11:39..Amen..so just like those little fishes in their fish tank..they looked well to me..Amen..but in all reality the tank and the water needed to be changed and cleaned..because if not those little fish would end up getting sick and more than likely dying..and of course even their behavior would begin changing and I would notice that..so today what are some things in your life personally that you should be dealing with?..what are those things that only you and God know about?..what are those things that sooner or later will manifest in your life..and begin to show by your behavior and the way you act..and the way you begin to talk?..because sooner or later people that wear those coverups so to speak..begin to show who they really are..and most of the time it’s because they don’t want to deal with the messy..and the ugly situations of their lives..maybe because they’re embarrassed..or maybe they just are tired and don’t want to take the time to do so..but guys understand that freedom is ours..and the only way we free ourselves on the inside is to get messy..and believe me it’s not a pretty sight..Amen..but I tell ya afterwards it is the most beautiful thing and the most freeing thing that you and I can ever do for ourselves and or our lives..because once again it’s not about people and what they think of you or who they think you are..but it is all about Christ and what He thinks and what He knows you are..Amen..because honestly when we get real..we get well..Amen..so let us get real in our lives with who we are..and let us get well..every single one of us..for it is in Jesus’ name, that 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
