"Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy; meditate on these things." (Phil. 4:8)

The story is told of an old violinist whose music charmed audiences with its soothing, mellow sound. Wherever he played, the old violinist received a warm response. When asked the secret of his music, the man pointed to his instrument and said, "A great deal of sunshine must have gone into the wood, and what has gone in, comes out."

Isn't that true for us? What's gone into your soul lately?
