Come Clean

Emergency! Grass outta control, garden had to be weeded and fertilized, and trimmed some kind of vine thing. So my running this morning was behind a lawn mower. My core work was at the other end of a hoe. Dirty, filthy, smelly, and vile are great words to describe me.

Life happens to all of us. In fact, in a spiritual life we sometimes find ourselves in full recognition of how vile we may have become with sins. In a spark of revival the Spirit reveals to us our condition and our need. "Come get clean," the Spirit calls.

It is the most awesome thing to let that cool water with the soap fall over you and clean off the nasty. But more awesome still is the washing of the Spirit of God with the power of the blood of Jesus to clean off and out the nasty. Praise the Lord for his cleaning.

'I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned and by which they have transgressed against Me. Jeremiah 33:8
