Good morning!
I just finished up with my quiet time with My Father and came to my computer to check my e-mail, etc. I have a program called Spyware Bot on my computer and every morning when I come to my computer there is a screen popped up where it has run during the night (or early morning) and found all different little kinds of "infections" in my computer. It asks me if I want to "clean" the infections and, of course, I click on YES and it takes them all away - PRONTO! This morning, it just hit me - wouldn't it be wonderful if I had that program in me??? What if every night this program just ran through me and found all the "infections" that had gotten in me that day and then asked if I wanted to "clean" them out? Wouldn't that be wonderful? Well, in a sense, I DO have that program in me - it is called JESUS! He DOES see every infection that gets in us every day - the only problem is that sometimes we don't ALLOW Him to clean the infections out. I know that I'm probably wording this all wrong - I'm having a hard time trying to get on this screen what I am feeling in my heart, but maybe you will get the 'jest' of it anyway. JESUS IS my spyware bot but I have to be WILLING to see all the junk He is trying to show me and be willing to have the junk cleaned out in order to begin each day anew. If I ask, He is always faithful to show me what I need to get out - and sometimes He shows me even without me asking - but do I always allow Him to do His work and get it out? I know what problems the infections can cause and how it can "clog" up my life and yet, sometimes, it seems that I would just rather try to ignore it and hope that it will go away that way. I can't get rid of my infections by ignoring them - I MUST be willing to let Him cleanse me and give me a pure heart - EVERY MORNING!
I'm sure that probably didn't make a lot of sense because I just couldn't seem to get out what I am feeling in my heart of hearts - but I just felt like I was supposed to share it this morning so I did the best I could and I will just leave the rest up to God and let Him use it however He needs or chooses to use it. Whether it helps anyone else or whether He just wanted to me 'get it down' so that I'd have it in me a little better - I don't know. But it does give us another way to look at it, doesn't it?
Praying you all have a most blessed day!
Love ya all!
