we're kind of like dirty houses. we have a ton of junk in us and a lot dirt on us. the selfishness, the stubbornness, the pride, the pettiness, the lack of self-control. so much cleaning out that needs to be done before we can be fully used to our greatest potential.
i wonder if God is heartbroken over that or overwhelmed. somehow, He can handle it. He doesn't become paralyzed. He never gives up.
God sees the great potential we have, always there encouraging us to clean house, to come to Him, to be stripped down of ourselves, so He can fill us up with clean things so we can be better. there's so much daily work that we need to be clean before the Lord. yes, He takes us as we are but when we begin to follow Him, we need to make more of an effort to please Him. get rid of the old self.
clean us out, Lord.
make us new.
clean us up, show us how to live.
