I have and obsession with cleaning.. Like, I can go in the bathroom to relieve myself and I'll find myself cleaning the tub, or spraying the toilet down when I'm done. We have 2 bathrooms in my house and I'll just walk into the guest/my daughter's bathroom and randomly start cleaning.
I don't know if my obsession is clean fresh scent of the cleaning detergents or if it's a slight bit of OCD. Whatever it is, I'm hooked. Yesterday, I bought this new All purpose cleaner by Ajax.. I've already wiped the kitchen down twice, sprayed both tubs and wiped down the sink counter tops. I think I'm going to make mop water and mop all the floors before bed time too... I LOVE the smell of clean!!
I'm sure my obsession with cleanliness has nothing on the expectation God has for us. I mean, I fail and slip daily. Some not so clean words and thoughts slip. sometimes I just want to just spaz out on people for saying and doing things I consider are not the brightest.
How can I compare my level of cleanliness to the bar God has set? He allowed HIS son to die for me so that I can wake up, make mistakes, go to bed and wake up and do it all over again tomorrow. I LOVE my son but the thought of giving him so other people can fail I cannot began to fathom.
Every time I clean my toilet bowl, it's like cleaning my mouth out. I know I'm going to clean it and it will be used again. Each attempt is done with the thought that this may be the day it stays clean. Maybe this will be the day, I won't call someone an idiot. Maybe, just maybe I won't allow my thoughts to get the best of me and allow someone upset me.
Everytime I clean my filthy toilet, that's the way God feels when he cleans us. We're filthy and with him, HE makes it all right.. He flushes out all the sin by giving us NEW life everyday. With each new flush I clean my toilet and with each new cleansing from God, we have another chance at eternal life.
Dear God,
With each flush, reNEW me! With each wipe, wipe away my worldliness so I will resemble a life you're Proud of and ppl can see you're reflection through me.. Get you're best cleaning agents out and start to wiping!!
