In Side Out

I thought the roses I brought back for my wife Chris from Ecuador were looking pretty ragged. The other day I was sitting outside and she brought them all out. I assumed to throw them away.

And I watched as she sat down and began to peel away the brown petals to reveal beautiful pink ones. They were vibrant and looked just like new.

And I wonder if that is how God views us. I hope He sees beyond the exterior to something good inside.

Not because our nature is good. But the good in there because we are made in His image.
