GIVE ME A CLEAN HEART..

Proverbs: 27:19- As water reflects a face, so a man’s heart reflects the man. A good friend of mine, actually my best friend has always believed in the heart of the matter. No matter what you do outwardly for the world to see, for worldly recognition; God knows your heart. He knows why you did it. This one was tough for me because I have found myself guilty of it without even thinking I was. For example, my kids love my red beans and rice and I just love it when they go on and on about how great they are. Now, I don’t cook them just to hear them say that, but I am human and I like the recognition. God knows my heart before I cut the first bell pepper or slice an entire pack of andouille sausage. So what I have learned to do is turn over to God anything that may give ME the recognition. I want my heart to be clean when God looks at it. When I put it into that perspective, I don’t think of how my children just love them, I thank God, for the ingredients, the pot, the stove, the use of my body and mind to prepare the food an yes, the roof he put over my head so I don’t have to cook them outside…. Which you can do, and they taste just as good.... But that’s another story. Be inspired to let God know that your face reflects your heart. Love to all, Joyce
