While down on my knees scrubbing my dirty floors, I could not believe all the dirt hiding in the crevices. It was bad. It was hard work, crawling on my knees, but I am glad I finished it.
It is easy to give up when tasks seem hard, but I know I need to keep pressing on until all is clean and fresh.
My heart needs to be cleaned too. When the Holy Spirit reveals a sin, I need to repent quickly. If not, I will become soiled.
Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. (Psalm 51:17 NIV)
