Cleaning House

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Psalm 51:10

I am not fond of cleaning house. It is a weekly job and never something I look forward to doing. I am one of those people that try to do some work everyday so it doesn’t get ahead of me. After I have finished cleaning I feel very good. The house smells great and there is a good feeling I get from doing it.

I really feel that way when I spend time with the Lord and confess my sins. It is a great feeling and I then can start my day on the right foot. Sometimes there are things that I need to get rid of in my life. That is similar to cleaning house. When I have negative thoughts about someone or when I focus too much on what I need and want then it is time for me to clean house and purify my temple. The only way that is possible is by the Holy Spirit cleansing me. At times Jesus will remind me when I get so busy in life that it is time to clean house.

I hope when I spend time with Jesus and confess my sins that I will be a sweet aroma to Him and He is pleased. Then He can use me and I will experience His refreshing touch again.

O Jesus thank you for forgiveness and restoration.
