Do you like to clean? I cannot say that I like to clean, but I do like the results of cleaning. It would be nice to be able to get everything done at one time... to have the whole house clean, all the laundry done, porches swept, garage cleaned out... everything clean at the same time. I wonder...hmmm, is that even possible?
Do you know that there is an even more important place to be cleaned? John tells us in 1 John 1:5-10, "And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us."
It hit me yesterday after writing about spring cleaning that the leaven that was not to be eaten in preparation for the Passover represented sin. Sin was to be removed from the lives of the Israelites. Sin is still a problem today. It still needs to be removed sin from your life, but first you have to recognize what sin is in your life. You have to confess it, ask God to forgive you and allow Him to cleanse you of all unrighteousness. You are the one who has to start the process. What are you doing or failing to do that needs to be brought before the Lord? Do not wait! Go now and get your heart clean!
The LORD bless you with knowing His forgiveness and cleansing in your life.
I love you,
Ruth
