The other day my daughter and I were giving the dog a bath. Getting a bath is not his favorite thing, so my daughter was reassuring him that he would feel better once he was all clean. We, too, can feel better when we are clean, but not just physically clean!
We can get physically clean, but we cannot make ourselves clean in other areas of our lives without help. We are fortunate that Jesus came to remove our sin and make ourselves clean. Once we accept Jesus and are cleansed of our sin, we need to do our best to stop doing wrong and start doing right. Once we are washed and clean and doing right, we can feel better!
Feel better by getting cleaned - both inside and out - through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for sending Jesus to die for me and to wash me clean of sin. Help me to do what is right in Your eyes. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
