"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house." Matthew 5:14-15

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it." Matthew 13:45-46

When's the Last Time You Checked Your Face?

When was the last time you checked your face? I don't mean, when was the last time you looked in the mirror, but instead, when have you taken note of your countenance? Even though you may have experienced heartbreak and sorrow, does your face show you have no hope? Or do you instead have God's peace?

Philippians 4:7 says, "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 goes on to say, "We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed."

So today I'm asking, "When was the last time you did a face check on yourself?"
