Inside Job

When was the last time you visited the dentist? Really.....3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years?  Uh Oh.......

Really, it should be a place that we all become familiar with - if not we run the risk of developing undetected issues within our mouths that could potentially cause serious damage...even death

Cleaning - a cleaing is easy right? I... guess it depends on the severity of one's teeth - you see if we practice "cleaning at home" the cleaning in the dentists office is not all that bad. If we don't practice cleaning at home then we are shameful when the "dentist appears" why? Because it is our individual responsibility to take the time out and make sure that we are cleaning, however, shame is made manifest to those that fail to take the initiative and do the cleaning themselves.

Filling - filling is necessary but not everyone needs it, or do they - they only person or persons that readily receive the notion of being "filled" or having their teeth filled are those that recognize the need or the deficiency; the person that has less need of "filling" look to themselves and how "well kept, well groomed of a job "they did on their teeth" that may be true but the individual still needs to submit to the procedure or the in depth examination - Examination is a revelation of the situation that has occurred on a day to day, week to week, month to month basis in a persons life

Root Canal - the most painful type of interaction in a dentists office - a root canal is a serious problem that if it is ignored, infection can develop - the infection can get in the blood stream, travel to the heart and cause cardiac arrest.

What in the world am I talking about?

From a spiritual standpoint we need to stay clean, how does one become clean - through the washing of the WORD (God's Word) - The individual needs to call on the name of Lord and they will be saved - confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead - Have you made your choice?

Filling -  we need to be filled - not our teeth but we - individually need to be filled with the Holy Spirit - because the Holy Spirit is the "Dunamis" Dynamite....we need to be filled to function in that which God has called us to effectively and to live right - holy and acceptable unto God

We always have to be willing to get to the root of the matter - because hurting people, hurt people, if we refuse to deal with our inner most feelings, hang-ups, hurts, short comings - we will be unable to progress towards our destiny.

Beauty on the inside

My co-worker received a beautiful  bouquet of flowers this past week. Initially, the flowers were closed, but the beauty was still evident as well as confirmed by the passerby's. Their ooooo's and ahhhh's let me know that they weren't observing the natural beauty of the flower, but rather what they saw from a distance. What was interesting as well was the fact that the passerby's were more concerned with who possessed them and who purchased them opposed to the flower itself. The flower was alive, not dead and amazingly it was looking for an opportunity to reveal it's inner beauty. Compliments can't make it grow neither can ooooo's and ahhh's. That's good for the person that is in possession of the flower, but what about the flower? In the right environment and in the presence of those that understand that beauty lies within...that individual will be able to readily meet the true needs of the flower. This is more than oooo's and ahhh's, it's being able to release the closed areas within the flower. Well back to my co-worker's flowers...I took my eyes off the flower for a moment and to my amazment, the flowers that were once closed were now open! This gave me the opportunity to see within the flower. I saw things I've never seen, the extension of it's petals and the illustrious colors within. I said that to say this: people are like flowers....folks often see the outside and are quick to comment on how "fine" and "sexy" she is or how "tall dark and handsome"he is....never realizing that there are areas in their life that are closed off, shut down or undeveloped. We are more than physical specimens with incredible anatomy...we have a soul and spirit....where my co-worker and I sat was directly under a light...the flower was purchased at the right time and positioned on the desk at the right place to receive the exact amount of light needed to cause it to open...if the people we have surrounded ourselves with can't cause a self discovery of sorts or help us bring out the beauty within, it may be time for us to change our circle #Beauty on the inside
