“So a few weeks back I ordered this beautiful 4 piece place sitting..and I loved it..and last night when I got home from work it had been delivered..so to much excitement..I open my package..couldn’t wait to get them out of the box and wash them and place them in the cabinet so they would be ready to be used..Amen..but anyways my excitement changed drastically..well, maybe not drastically..but it changed some after the fact I opened them..because these beautiful plates that I thought were going to be strong and lasting only ended up to be very very light weight and not more than that they were hard plastic plates and bowls..so to say the least I was just a little disappointed..lol..but anyways this morning I am again looking at my plates and them bowls..and the Lord begins to speak to my heart..and He says just like you assumed Mandi that those were going to be ceramic only by looking at them..the same people do when they are assuming the life of someone else..Amen..and I thought to myself, well, Lord, that is so right..we all seem to do this..we assume a lot by looking at someone else..just simply for the fact of how they dress..or what kind of car they may drive..to the house they live in..we assume that they have it all together..that they are alright..Amen!”

“But you know again the Lord always looks at our hearts when He chooses us for a task or job to do for Him..He always knows when we are truly ready for something..He always knows when we are not ready..Amen..but so many try to change the outward in their lives first..all the while forgetting the inward man..and guys how many of ya know that the inward man is our lives..the person in whom is on the inside is the person in whom we are..the person that moves forward with grace and faith..so you know just as they were choosing King David..but at that time he wasn’t a King..he was a tiny little shepherd boy..tending the sheep..so when the Lord sent Samuel to choose and anoint him..David’s father goes to all the other brothers first..all seven of them..because they were bigger..and stronger..they were much more fitting so to speak for the task and the job of being the King..Amen..but Samuel knew that none of them were the ones..and he says to Jesse do you not have any more sons?..is this it?..and Jesse says well there is my youngest..he tends the sheep..so they go to get David..and when Samuel seen him the Lord says arise and anoint him for he is the one..1 Samuel 1-13..Amen!”

“So just know that just like my good ole plates and bowls..in which case are beautiful still..they are not what I thought they would be..there not strong and or they going to be long lasting..they will probably crack before long..and I can’t even place them in the microwave..so another disappointment..lol..only joking..but if they were ceramic..I would have been so pleased..because I know that they would last..and they would be more sufficient even though the looked like they would work perfectly..Amen..so guys just because someone dresses it up..and someone looks the part..doesn’t mean that they are..Amen..so don’t assume something by only looking from afar..come a little closer and see whether or not it is the real thing or only a imitation of the real thing..because you know the Lord takes the foolish things of the world to confound the wise..1 Corinthians 1:27..and the Lord doesn’t do things as we do..but the way the Lord does things are completely perfect..Amen..so don’t judge a book by it’s cover..but much rather pick up the book and begin to read it..and than and only than will you know the whole and true story..for it is in His name, 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
