It Will Show (Proverbs 27:19)
You don't have to tell how you live each day, You don't have to say if you work or play,A tried, true barometer serves in the place, However you live, it will show in your face.
The false, the deceit, that you bear in your heart, Will not stay inside where it got a start,For sinews and blood are a thin veil of lace, What you wear in your heart, you wear on your face.
If you've battled and won in the great game of life, If you've striven and conquered through sorrow and strife,If you've played the game fair and reached only first base, No need to proclaim it -- it always shows in your face.
If your life is unselfish, if for others you live, For not what you get, but how much you give,If you live close to God in His infinite grace, You don't have to tell it, it shows on your face.

thank you for bringing this proverb to my attention- not sure i've read it before, or have forgotten it if i have. it's a good thought to be awakened to. always love to hear your thoughts, and what's in your heart.
