Glitter

Anyone who has young granddaughters, like yours truly, understands the proverb, “All is not gold that glitters.” After an afternoon with my three, one is likely to find glitter on the carpet, on the furniture, and in one’s hair.
We need to be careful in our lives not to be merely glitter — pious in our outward appearance, but dull and rusty in our hearts. We need to remember that for the many we touch day after day we are the only gospel the man in the street or the woman next door will ever read.
Jesus admonished us to “cleanse that which is within the cup and the platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.” Matthew 23. That’s is why we pray, “Create in me a clean heart.”
