Linens

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you wanted to get rid of something in your life but couldn’t? It isn’t even that it kept coming back, but like it was just still hanging around? Like there was something you wanted to give up and it never had really left you in the first place?

The other day i was staying at a hotel with my fellow summer travelers. i stayed on the pullout sofa in the room, which i don’t seem to find too strenuous on my back. i wake up twelve minutes before checkout because we were under the assumption that checkout was at noon but it was really at 11. i got everything ready and good to go and i start to put the mattress back in the sofa.
First i thought:
‘i wonder if they clean this everyday’
Then:
‘i would want it to be clean when i got here’ (which it was)
But Then i thought:
‘how can they really clean it, or know to clean it when it’s stuck inside the couch?

Sure they can pull the couch out, check if the sheets were used, and replace them, but this is a little harder when it comes to our lives.

Ya see, it’s kind of tough to get your life clean when you are constantly hanging on to all the dirty stuff. When you have it hidden away somewhere. God can’t pull it out of you, you have to open yourself up, and submit it to Him willingly. In fact, don’t stop there! You must submit your entire self to him. EVERYTHING! That way he not only gets the stains out that you wear on your person, but out of every nook and cranny that stains hide in.


Just to let you know…
