If Someone Turned Me Upside Down and Shook Me, What Would Fall Out?

Ok...so I'm posing the question - If someone turned me upside down and shook me, what would fall out?

Now...let's suppose what falls out is what is inside of me and nothing will be stuck or hidden...with the exception of my lunch. Now, that's something I have no desire to see or ponder.

Would empathy or apathy drop on the floor? How about joy or frustration? (I use frustration as an opposite to joy, because if I'm frustrated - I'm probably not joyful.) Compassion or disdain? (If I have disdain for someone, I'm probably not being compassionate, even if it is someone with whom I do not agree.) Optimism or pessimism? Faith or Fear?

How about my priorities? Where is my time being focused - on myself or on the things God suggests - things that are true, things that are honest, things that are just, things that are pure, things that are lovely, things that are of good report; virtue; and praise?

Wow, there sure are a lot of things that could potentially tumble out!

Most of me thinks I would be very embarrassed. Surely, there would be some good, but what about the things that had been stuck (maybe in the vicinity of my little finger or under my knee cap) - the things that aren't so delightful in God's eyes?

I tell you - I'm thankful for grace. But that grace doesn't mean I shouldn't be concerned about what's inside. It means I should make every effort to be in constant communication with God. After all, the more time I spend with Him, the better the content of my heart.

I'm just glad this is a "what if?" scenario and not reality. Not only because I'd be ashamed of how much interior cleaning I need to do, but also because I'm really partial to keeping my lunch traveling in the right direction.
