The diversity
of people is as much a gift of God as any other treasure He offers. While
differences engender many difficulties, they also provide ample opportunity to
learn the many angles of love. Like a diamond turned in light, each person
reveals another facet of God’s imprint upon each of us, even in those wholly
unaware of His presence. I praise You Father for the beauty of Your image upon Your
creation.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
