Our acts make us or mar us – we are the children of our OWN deeds. – V. Hugo
Jesus called the religious leaders of his day hypocrites because that’s what they were. They did not practice what they preached! Hmm!
Our parents tried to shape us and mold us, to instill in us a sense of value and morality – it was their role. But the responsibility of taking that input and putting it to use in a meaningful and positive manner rests solely with each one of us. And though we may want to blame others for our shortcomings or errors, we know deep within they are ours alone. But the great thing about life is we are each free to change what we don’t like. We are free to make our life a blessing to God and His work. We must remember our actions are motivated by what’s in our heart. It’s no question we were made in the image of God (the bible says so). The BIG question is can that image be seen.
Until tomorrow…..
