Cleanliness Is Next To Godliness

I just came accross this and I loved it so I decided to share it...

Although there is not a quote in the Bible that states "cleanliness is next to godliness", the Bible is very expressive in several scriptures that He want his people to be clean. He is more concerned about our inward man being clean then the outward. But here's the thing, when your inward man is clean then it produces outward cleanliness. It becomes irritating to live in a filthy state when you

have become cleansed on the inside. There is a scripture in Matthew 23:26 that says, "Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also." Jesus was saying what point is it for the cup and platter to be cleaned on the outside while the inside remains dirty. So He said to clean the inside so that the outside may be clean as well. This is proof that He would like for us to be clean internally as well as externally, which means that cleanliness is next to Godliness.

Stronger, Higher, Smarter

I believe there are very few if any careers in which someone can eventually get to the point that they truly "know it all".  I would even go as far as to say that the most successful professionals are usually those who have a deep passion for what they do which leads them to push the limits.  They are always searching deeper, reaching higher and striving to go farther than they have already gone.  

The expense of learning can be high at times but we do what we must to pursue our goals.  Only don't let it be just a delayed gratification.  One of the most valuable lessons I've learned yet, is to enjoy learning.
