From the Inside Out

( I picked the picture of the color pallet above, because I believe that no matter how much we change the outside, if we don't change the inside our spirit will grow darker and darker. We have to change both. We have to seek him so he can change us from the inside out there is no other way to change ourselves without giving it to Christ).

I was reminded this weekend about the fixing from the INSIDE OUT. It was through my conversation with my aunt that I thought about this song. My Aunt wants her house to get painted since Dan and I are painting our house. She said this, I asked my son but he said no the outside needs to be painted first. She said but that's what I want.

I thought it was strange and I wasn't sure why but then as I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night I kept thinking about what she said. I asked God to reveal to me why this is sticking to my heart. Then it hit me, he was more concerned in what the outside of the house looked like to other people but wasn't concerned or it wasn't as important as the inside. I know this is just a house however, we do that with ourselves daily. We sometimes are more concerned with our outward appearance that we forget about the inside. We have to work on both the inside and outside appearance they should flow together.

If we walk with Christ the two should come together beautifully. Right now I am on a journey working on changing the outside of me, making me healthier and taking care of the gift God has given me. However, in order to do that I have had to do some changing from the inside out. I know that God brought this to my attention because I am going through some growing pains as we speak. I so love this journey I can't even begin to express how much I love it. I see changes in my mind, body and spirit and I love it. I love it more when he talks to me like this !

The song verse below says it all.


Hillsong "From the Inside Out"

My heart, my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

The song verse above says it all!
