Proverbs 4:23
Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.
Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.
For years I sewed my own clothes and many for my children. When
I made an article of clothing, I followed guidelines. After I pinned the pattern
on the fabric and cut out the pieces, the construction started. The pattern
pieces were fastened with the wrong sides together. Seams were finished and
curves clipped. The stitched hem draped and the sleeves fit in place. In order
for the outside to look finished, the inside required the most attention to
detail.
God created me from the inside out. He molded my heart before
he formed my skin because, he knew that no matter what I looked like on the
outside, I needed to be whole on the inside. Like the pattern, the pieces
needed to fit. He had a plan for me and it started in my heart. The proverb
tells me to guard my heart from the evil in the world that can make my spirit hard
and uncaring. Hillsong sings a song, From the Inside Out and they ask God to take
control of the inside and out. I pray that God do the same for me, love me from
the inside out.
