Inside the Box

How lovely it looked with red satin rippled on the rim and white lace trim. Remember those heart shaped boxes of candy received or wished for in February? This one, though, hung on the wall – a remembrance from a sweetheart, but void of sweet treats.
            The inside is what is important whether it’s a box or a person. We see the outside; God peers inside. For out of the heart come the real issues of life.
            So what’s inside the heart? Love and acceptance or hatred and rejection? Peace or unrest? Let’s focus on having hearts right with God. Otherwise we’re like that cardboard box – a nice decoration, but unfulfilled.

Lifeline :  Above all else, guard your heart…..Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)

1. Did you ever get one of those fancy heart shaped boxes?
2. When did you get it and who gave it to you?
