Grace; for your spirit November 4, 2013

Grace for your spirit
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!  For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanliness. Matthew 23:27

Has our relationship with God made us beautiful on the outside or on the inside?  We can dress ourselves in religion to be seen of others, and people can think we are really holy.  James one says that if we think we are religious, but don't control our tongue, keep ourselves unstained from the world, and help those in need, our religion is worthless.  What is a beautiful life?  We sing a song by that name that describes the beautiful life by helping those in need, helping the troubled soul, lending a helping hand, and lifting a traveler's load. Someday we will all stand before God and be judged, not by what was on the outside, but what was on the inside.
