Beautiful on the Inside

This book is old, faded, out of shape, and smoke damaged. It has literally been through the fire. But it is filled with such treasure. The most beautiful hymns, stories and devotional thoughts.

Maybe you feel like this book. Maybe you have been through the fire, so to speak. Maybe you are weary of the battle. Maybe your body is breaking down. Maybe your life feels out of shape.

But may you also be like this book on the inside. Filled with the priceless treasure of trust in God. A faith that has been refined by fire. May you be filled with beautiful songs, stories of what God is doing in you, and may your thoughts be on things above.

“For this cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight
of glory…” 2 Corinthians 4:16-17
