Preparing my heart and mind

In yesterday's sermon my preacher talked about preparing ourselves for church. I had never thought about preparing my mind and heart for worship services. I spend time getting my hair and makeup just right but don't give a second thought to getting ready spiritually. I sometimes pick out my clothes the night before but don't prepare myself internally the night before. I spend more time getting my physical self ready instead of getting my head and heart ready.

I almost skipped church yesterday and would have missed out on hearing something that not only spoke to my heart but changed my heart. I need to spend more time preparing myself spiritually for church. I should make it easier for the Lord to see what's in my heart by preparing myself to receive his Word. God doesn't see my lipstick or my hair style. He sees what's inside of me.
