Ugly. ( Romans 3 v 10 - 18// 23/ 6 v 23 )

Malcolm Muggeridge told of an experience in his life, he was in India ,and one morning he went out for a swim in a local river. When he was swimming, he noticed a woman in the distance bathing,,his lustful thoughts took over,so he decided that he would swim over to her,hoping to take advantage of her. So he swam towards her,when he got near to her she was startled,and covered herself up herself  with her arms. He then realized that she was a leper,the disease had taken its toil on her, no fingers ,no nose, as he looked at her he thought what an ugly woman,but he stopped,and he thought about himself, and he said , ''no what an ugly man I am.''. There is a greater ugliness than our physical being,it is our sinful wicked hearts,the word of God says our hearts are deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked.     ( Jeremiah 17 v 9 ) The only hope  for any of us, is Jesus ,who alone can save us,from our ugliness,and gave us a new heart.
