The other day, I went for a walk. As I neared home, the clouds of night started to roll in as the sunlight faded behind the mountains. It was beautiful.
Slowly, as one step turned into another, I noticed the lights flicking on in the different homes around me. I could see dining room tables set for parties, living rooms that were shiny and clean, families spending quality time and elderly couples enjoying each other. To be honest... I have always found myself wondering what goes on in other houses. I think the reason why this intrigues me so much is I want to know what a perfect family is like. (On a side note, as I have gotten older I have only come to the realization that there is not a single family in the world that is "perfect")
I thing that hit me this evening in particular was the Lord opening my eyes to the understanding that my heart is His home. This evening, the Lord showed me that if my heart is REALLY His home, then I need to make a constant effort to keep it holy ("set apart" and "sanctified") for Him.
The Lord has cleansed me and has set me apart. He has a plan for me. Am I willing to stand up to the battle and boldly take my stand and live a life of purity and steadfastness? Will my heart be a place where He shines out of? For in reality, my heart only a mirror of the things I fill it with.
