The Contents of The Heart
Proverbs 23:7 tells us that, “As a man thinks in his
heart, so is he.” Well, young people, that’s an interesting concept. Sounds like it doesn’t really
matter what the outside looks like, huh? But think
about this; you go shopping, and pick up a can that
has a label indicating that the contents on that can
are peaches; when you get home and open the can,
what do you expect to find, green beans? Of course
not; you expect to see some delicious peaches.
No matter the size, shape, color, or condition of
the can, if the label says peaches, that’s what we
expect to find inside., unless the can has been mislabeled.
So you see, young people, the internal
contents of our heart are identified by the external life we live.
So, while it is important for you to know what’s
on the inside, it is also very important that both the
inside and the outside reflect the same product.
So, what’s in your heart?

“Give and it Shall Be Given”
Beauty For Ashes
In the 2013 winter edition of the LLE, The Lord
prompted me to place a small article on the matter
of “giving”, and I suggested the possibility of giving
to the publishing of the LLE.
I have been delighted with the positive results of
this suggestion. These are just a few of the responses: From Mississippi comes, “We appreciate
being able to receive the LLE; it is always a blessing
to read! Enclosed is a check for $25 to help keep it
coming our way.”
From Monroe, MI, a reader writes, “Thank you
for continuing to send the LLE! It’s always good to
get an update on activities and other articles. I
hope my small offering of $20 helps with expenses.”
From Wisconsin a reader writes, “The Lower
Light paper arrived today, and I read your good suggestion. I will send my $10 right away.”
Another Michigan subscriber writes, I feel God is
urging me to give $400 toward the publishing of the
Lower Light Evangelist. Over the many years I have
been receiving the LLE, I have so enjoyed the articles. Please put me on your prayer list. I do so
want to serve the Lord.”
It is exciting to this editor, as I’m sure it is to you
as well, to hear such encouraging notes from our
readers and our fellow Christians. Especially in the
things of God It is often the small things that count.
Kittie L. Suffield said it so well when she wrote,
“Little is much if God is in it!
Labor not for wealth or fame.
There's a crown—and you can win it,
If you go in Jesus' name.”
About 10:30 p.m. on February 1st, fire destroyed
the Petersburg Parsonage garage, a vehicle parked
in the driveway, and caused thousands of dollars
damage to the home, especially the kitchen and
upper bedroom. The pastor reports, “Our first act
was to evacuate. We congregated in the church
next door and counted heads. Neighbors were
soon there, bringing blankets, coats and shoes.
The Red Cross was great at finding us a place to
stay, for which we thank God. We thank God for
family and friends who helped us get to a motel
and stayed with us until everybody was settled in,
sometime after 5 a.m.
Fire inspectors later determined the cause of the
fire to be faulty wiring in a freezer in the garage.
Four days later we were able to move into the
conference learning center, where we set up some
temporary walls for bedrooms. It’s not home but
it’s better than living in a motel room. Now we anxiously await the completion of reconstruction so we
can move back home.
Out of the ashes and rubble we began to see
some beauty like the prophet talks about in Isaiah
61:3, of exchanging ashes for beauty. I'm so glad I
gave Jesus the rags of my life many years ago. I
traded and got beauty for ashes, and just like the
parsonage, we had to lose some things to win.
