"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth." -II Timothy 2:15 (NIV)
We learn "looking our best" often means putting on nice clothes or getting "dressed up." We get dressed up to impress, show respect, or even gain respect. Putting on nice clothes doesn't change who we are or we what we know. When we get "dressed up" for God, we need to be sure we are showing who we truly are!
God knows each of us better than we know ourselves. He is our Creator and He knows the choices that we will make before we even make them! Since God knows us, we need to remember that we cannot "dress up" to impress or fool Him. God knows what is in our hearts. Once we have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ and are committed to following God, we don't have to "dress up." With our faith in and commitment to God, we can present our hearts as honest and truthful!
Don't try to "dress up" your heart to be presentable to God. Cleanse your heart through the sacrifice of Jesus and present your honest heart!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for giving me a chance to cleanse my heart through Your Son. Help me to follow Your will and present an honest and truthful heart to You. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
