Journal—March 18, 2013
Good
morning, Lord. Sunlight streams through
my window, reminding me how much they need to be washed. How like Your Word. As Your Word illumines me, it often shows up
streaked, dirty and unpleasant areas.
All the accumulation of dust and smears make it hard to see
clearly. The brighter the sun, the more
mess I see. Colors outside are muted and
smudges cause things to be blurred. This
is the same as my spiritual life. I see
life only partially because it is filtered through the messy areas of my
soul.
Flood me with Your
light, dear Lord. Cleanse me with the
sunshine of Your Word. Gently rub away
the grime and accumulated dust. I long
to see life and You in the clearest way possible.
I give these streaks to You and ask You to
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”
(Psalm 51:10 NASB).
“He saved us, not on
the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His
mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, who He
poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior . . .” (Titus
3:5,6 NASB).
“You are already clean
because of the word which I have spoken to you.” (John 15:3 NASB).
I will allow the
windows of my soul and heart to be cleansed.
Thank You, Lord.
