Laundry. Most days it gets done without paying attention to much as it gets done routinely.
And then there are days, where the most ordinary of tasks stirs thoughts.
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7, NIV)
I have done a few things in my life for which I am not proud of, and would not boast on either. Truth be known, I would rather not even think about them. But every once in a while, they come back to mind. You know why?
Because “sin whispers.” In the still of the night, when we are all alone, sin comes with its hiss bringing up the past, the silent reminder.
It is in the silence, we must remind ourselves of God’s forgiveness through the sacrifice of His Son on the Cross.
We are no longer a people who are living habitually in sin. We do not enjoy the darkness which once encompassed us. Now we live in the determination to choose God’s light as our place of dwelling.
When the regret and shame come to haunt us, we can respond j, “He is faithful to forgive us and we stand purified, clean from it all.”
Let’s return to the laundry for a second. I hope you will join me at Woman to Woman Ministries HERE where I will share the reminder which laundry delivered one morning.
