We may not realize that we have idols, but the world does. The people in your sphere of influence will see where your loyalty really lies. Even people who do not know you at all can see when you are choosing to put something before the God you claim to serve.

Whitewashed Tombs
We are not perfect. We do not have it all together. We have good days and bad days. We have addictions. Our kids are not always well-behaved. Our thoughts are not always on Christ.
