Cleaning The Right
Thing
In a few days, two of my sisters-in-law and a brother-in-law
are arriving for a visit. My house doesn’t know what to think. It is being
scrubbed, dusted, vacuumed and all other sorts of things it is not accustomed
to experiencing!
After all, I want to “put my best foot forward”, as the old
saying goes. I surely wouldn’t want my in-laws to see a messy house. Ah, the
things we do to impress others! : D
It got me to thinking. Are we sometimes more concerned about
cleaning up in preparation for visitors than we are about getting cleaned up in
preparation for the Lord’s coming?
When Jesus returns I don’t want my house clean (well, maybe
that too) but I do want Him to find my life clean, more conformed to His image
than when I first gave Him my life. That
is my goal. It’s God’s goal as well.
Question: How is your spiritual housekeeping going? Need to
make changes? It’s not too late. He hasn’t arrived yet (but I don’t think it
will be much longer before He gets here!). And, He will be so pleased with what
He sees!
Doing some cleaning today, Gloria
