SABRINA Photo filters - you know - those great little apps on our smartphones that make you look 10 years younger, 15 pounds lighter -adorable! Editing shadows, softening blemishes or unsightly details has become the new “reality” in our Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook riddled culture. None of us like to post our flaws for all the world to see? But in truth, most of us put better filters on our selfies than we do on our heart. In Proverbs 4:23, we are reminded, "Above all else, guard your heart because everything you do flows from it." Everything. Actions, Thoughts, Feelings. Every. Single. Little. Thing. There is no filter for our heart. What we need to focus on is who and what we allow into our hearts. We are given a pattern for that in the Fruit of the Spirit - Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control. Go today reminded that while a filter may be fun for our selfies, what we allow into our hearts comes out for all the world to see - and THAT is the selfie that matters the most!
