God is a designer. 

            We're His works of art.

Have you ever looked at a body of water and thought from far away it looked so pretty; waves brushing up against the sand, kids splashing in the water sharing laughs and smiles, boats and canoes occupying the lake in farther distances, ducks with their flocks bathing in the water, rocks aligned so pretty for climbing and sitting, waves so calming, skies pretty blue with a tint of pink, purple, and orange, waves brushing against the rocks sounds so soothing, sun glistening on the ripples of the waves.

BUT

Look closely. There's an ugly mucky look in that "Pretty" water. Do you see the algae? How about that dead white fish washed up on the shore tucked in the crevasse of the rocks. After sun sets it disappears, no longer is it a happy place, kids are gone; no more laughter. It's dark and vacant... lonely. No longer do the waves seem calm but they are violently roaring against the rocks crying out for attention...

I wrote that while meditating at the lake. God doesn't care about our outter appearance! He cares about our HEART! That's why we need to ask God on a daily basis to search our hearts expose anything unlike Him, anything that is not pleasing to Him and ask Him to remove it! Our hearts need to be genuine... loving, gentle, kind etc. God knows our hearts better than we even know our own hearts.

I pray that you, the reader, will be cleansed of anything tucked away in your heart that you may not even notice exists, and we instead have a renewed heart that pleases God. For the bible says whereever your treasure is, your heart lies. I pray for hearts that are seeking You and open to You. In Jesus name, amen.
