Secret Scriptures

At first glance these shoes may not look like much, but if you could see inside them, you would find something unique - secret scripture.

These shoes belong to the greatest man I know besides Jesus, my husband. And inside them are scriptures that I carefully tucked away under the inside soles, secretly.

Not only do I put them in the shoes of my family but I put them under their mattresses and sew them into their pillows, all in secret. Why do I do this in secret? Because some things are more effective when done in secret.

Matthew 6:6 says But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. God sees the burden I have for my family to come to know Him and instead of hitting them over the head with the Word of God, as I have done so many times in the past, I want to love them to Christ. And by doing that I have to leave it in the Father's hands and continue to pray and stand on His Word.

Besides, because of their lack of knowledge of how important prayer is, they would most assuredly have a complaint about it. But, even if they find the scriptures, I won't stop finding other creative ways to cover them in prayer. But you can pretty much count on me to still secretly stitch them into their pillows, mattress, and shoes...all for His glory!
