Our lives reflect the state of our minds and hearts.  When I stop to take a look at my life I can see how it is a portrayal of things that are important to me.  How I spend my time, who I surround myself with, what types of information I surround myself with and in what format.  We can see the portrayal of our lives as though it were a story being played out on a movie screen.  The portrayal is the end product, it is the summation of the whole.  Yet it is all the elements leading up to it that provide the complete project. It is in the elements where we can make the changes if the portrayal we are watching does not seem accurate.  It makes no sense to walk up to the movie screen and start telling it to change.  We have to go back to the script writers, the directors and the set designers.  Most importantly, we have to recognize that we are the primary actors in the portrayal of our lives.  If what we are watching is not what we want our lasting legacy to be, then we can put forth the effort today and make changes.  I sometimes wonder what those who have had their lives portrayed on the big screen would think about what kind of story it tells about them. We do not need to wait for the end of our lives.  Each day we have the opportunity to adjust the portrayal.  We can determine at the close of each day if it showed a measurement of our hearts or our heads or both.  After a time we can look back and notice how many of those days were an accurate portrayal of how God sees us.
