We finally found a way to keep our dog Sandy outside; she’s been spending the nights in the garage since mid-January. Now that she’s not in the garage Deana has straightened up in there and I’ve moved all the left-overs from the remodeling to the burn pile. We are close to being able to park in the garage!
Spring is the time for cleaning. I have some “yard tools” that were just tossed under the house when we moved in that need attention. My desk is always in need of Spring cleaning no matter what time of year it is!
How about your life? Sometimes little things pile up in our lives. We often just sweep them aside and the clutter grows almost with no notice. Next thing you know, you’re a mess.
Just like neglecting your house cleaning can be a physical health issue, so neglecting your sins is a spiritual health issue. Often, physical, emotional, psychological, financial, and relational issues accompany sin. Don’t you think it’s time for a little Spring cleaning?
This is what God’s Word says about this: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
Cleaning out the garage is a lot of work but we always like it better after the work is done. Cleaning up your spiritual house is a lot of work, too, but Jesus did the work for you. All you have to do is confess your sins to him and he will forgive them. You’ll like it better after you do that.
