Today we had the carpet in the church and the parsonage cleaned. There were a couple of spots in both locations that I was positive would not come out. But to my surprise they did. The gentleman who was the carpet cleaner didn't even seemed surprised. He knew he would be able to make the evidence of the mistakes, that caused the spots, go away, like they never even happened.
Makes me think of Christ and what He can do for us. If you ask, He can take away our mistakes too. He will make it so we are clean and sin free. He can do it in a heart beat.
1 John 1:9
Common English Bible (CEB)
9 But if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from everything we’ve done wrong.
Our house, with the carpets clean, feels so fresh. It is such a nice feeling. It actually seems like even the air is cleaner.
Imagine how good it feels when your soul is clean. Imagine how much better you will feel, how much fresher you will feel.
Unlike carpet, that will get dirty again and need to be cleaned again, our lives, our souls stay clean. God does not see you as a sinner ever again.
Psalm 103:12
Common English Bible (CEB)
12 As far as east is from west—
that’s how far God has removed our sin from us.
that’s how far God has removed our sin from us.
It feels so peaceful to have this promise. It's like taking a deep breath of the freshest air. Peaceful like a walk by a trickling spring. Peaceful like when you are listening to the waves as you drift off to sleep in a room beside the ocean.
I hope with all my heart that you have received this peace. If not, all you need to do is believe and ask our Savior for this peace and it will be yours.
Blessings!!!
