This is a chore I don't like doing... so needless to say... I regularly procrastinate... until I can't stand it...
As I knelt... scrubbing soap scum... mildew... and general all-around-grunge... I was reminded that all this dirt... mess... yuk... came off me and my dear husband...
Now I have this theory... which I believe bears itself out in the overarching truth of Scripture...
So... while cleaning... I considered my sin... and the sin of my spouse...
If the physical residue off our bodies is so disgusting... I don't even want to know what the spiritual residue of our sin looks like... not to mention the actual sin itself...!
The thought leaves me grateful... and humble... before Jesus... my Savior... who allowed the grunge of the world... and the wrath of His Father against us... to be poured out on Himself... out of love...
For while we were still weak, at the right time
Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die
for a righteous person --- though perhaps for a good person
one would dare even die --- but God shows his love for us
in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood,
much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.
Romans 5:6-9 ESV
Praise Him... from who all blessings flow...
including shower grunge to clean...
that I might see... Him...
