Tonight I did the dishes. I don’t love doing the dishes. The food refuse and mess – it’s not convenient. As i sloshed around in the soapy water tonight I was impressed with the process. Dirty gross dishes go in the water, get scrubbed, and come out sparkly clean – ready to be used again. It reminded me of how everyday I need to washed and forgiven by God. I wonder if He gets tired of it the way I get tired of doing my dishes? Does He wearily look at my sin and struggles and wish He didn’t have to deal with it? It’s not convenient? I’m so thankful that He doesn’t think the way I think. That He continues to pursue me – continues to encourage me to go on – to be washed daily so I can be used again. He is so willing to forgive, so ready to embrace, to bring me to sparkly clean. I am so thankful for that.
