It's Time to turn to the Interior Designer

As Jesus was speaking, one of the Pharisees invited him home for a meal. So he went in and took his place at the table. His host was amazed to see that he sat down to eat without first performing the hand-washing ceremony required by Jewish custom. Then the Lord said to him, “You Pharisees are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy—full of greed and wickedness! Fools! Didn’t God make the inside as well as the outside? So clean the inside by giving gifts to the poor, and you will be clean all over. “What sorrow awaits you Pharisees! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore justice and the love of God. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things. -Luke 11:37-42 (NLT)

People can look through the windows of your flesh and see your spirit. Your house is dark if your electric has been cut off and your voice is silenced if your phone has been disconnected. Don't be so fixated on your exterior that you fail to consult the Interior designer. You're fixing the one but you're leaving the other undone.

It's time to turn to the interior designer. He's able to clean us from the inside that will shine brightly on the outside.
