Word-less Wednesday

After each time I shower, I have strict orders from Momma that I have to wipe the walls down with the squeegee, making sure that I get all the water off the walls...I know why I have to do it...but I still don't like to do it. I'm cold when I turn off the hot water, so standing there squeegeeing the walls is not how I want to end my shower.....but I do it every time and I guess I will continue to do it....she reads my blog....so I have to say that!!!!!

But I guess you can say that my mind was wandering and I thought how me squeegeeing the walls was actually a metaphor for how the Lord squeegees our life. When I take my time, and really squeegee the walls, you would never know that I showered and the walls were wet just a few minutes earlier. When we ask for forgiveness of our sins...God Squeegees our lives and he no longer remembers these sins....I will be honest....I am not that good at squeegeeing the walls, and I am even worse at forgetting my own sins...I continue to remind myself of my short comings....but as with my squeegeeing skills....I am trying to improve.

The really cool part of this thought process is that in today devotion from Pastor Greg Laurie, he was talking about this....I will end with his words....Have a great day.

"Forget the things that are behind. While you may not be able erase them from your memory, you don't need to let them influence you. Sometimes we dredge up the things God has forgiven and forgotten. The Lord says, "I will remember their sins no more" (Jeremiah 31:34). Yet many times we will bring past sins up, forgetting the fact that our God has a big eraser. If God has forgiven my sins and forgotten them, then I need to leave them behind, learn from my mistakes, not do the same thing again, and move forward. Why should we choose to remember what God has chosen to forget?"
