What's on my wall?

Daniel 5:5
In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace;
Daniel 5:27
You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting


This was from sunday's sermon and one of the questions pastor Sam asked was "what is written on your wall"
I have been thinking about this question for awhile ever since I got on FB. What do I want to post. A friend asked me soon after I got on FB what did I think of it and my reply was "I thought it would be more encouraging or edifing to God. Her response to me was "maybe that is something you can do" ouch! Do I really want to be told what is right. But she is right, If I want my wall to be a blessing then it is upto me to make it that. Not only that, I want others to know where I stand, so my question to myself is "what is on my wall?"
What do I want on my wall - I want my wall to be filled with encouragement, love, and praise for the King. I'm not speaking just about the physical wall of blogging or FB but my spiritual life also.
We all put up walls. They protect us, (we think), we don't want to be hurt or allow someone to get too close, or we want to be isolated. We don't want to share anything, maybe we are selfish, scared, hurt, the list could go on. But what is written on our/my wall is written in our/my heart. So I go deeper - what is written in my heart? Is it bitterness, anger, jeolousy, guilt, selfishness, greediness,fear, lack of faith, discouragement, etc. It is all of these and so much more and I will be weighed and found wanting.
I want a new heart, a new wall, Please Lord rewrite my wall
I struggle everyday to rewrite my wall, to change, to have a new heart but I am so thankful I have hope. I press forward, I run the race. I read my bible, I pray, I mediate on His word, I love others, I love God, and slowly my wall will be changed. It will be rewritten by The Savior who died for me, who saved me, who fills this heart up with His love, peace, joy, faith! I can't rewrite the wall only He can and His word. So So thankful!!! Praise the Lord!! He is worthy to be praised.
I know I will be weighed but with God and God alone I wont be found wanting!

Psalm 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
