From My Heart to Yours:  We all think about it from time to time.  How do we want to be remembered?  Do we want to be remembered for our achievements or perhaps our attitude?  Most of us would like to be remembered in a positive way.  In the end, it isn’t so much what others think of us but rather what God thinks that is important.  In Malachi, the people of Israel were confronted for their spiritual compromises and lack of commitment.  They were indicted as nominal people of faith rather than as a sincere people of faith.  If we want to be positioned for the blessings of God; for a Heaven sent revival, then we must be sincere.  This is an interesting word, meaning not hypocritical or deceitful.  It is to be open and genuine.  Sculptures and potters who were insincere would cover their mistakes or blemishes with wax.  When heat was applied the wax would begin to melt away showing the imperfections.  Life has a way of heating things up, and it is then that we begin to see the sincerity of our faith or its lack displayed for all to see.  In the midst of the social, global, and religious  upheavals we currently see, those with sincere faith will stand out.  These are the type of people God desires and takes note of; those who seek to worship Him with pure hearts and motives.
