One of the most memorable stories from this week was when I cleaned up trash at a carwash. You would think for a place that stands for cleaning and newness there wouldn’t be so much trash. However, the opposite was true. Off to one of the sides by the forest and bridge there was a hill that was composed of trash and dead leaves. I enjoyed cleaning the place and setting an example for the community. It made me think of my life and others.
Christians should have mostly/all clean lives that help others to do the same, but so many have hidden places where all this junk and trash from the world gets thrown over the years and simply ignored. After a while, others notice and it no longer is a secret. God always knows and wants us to have places that are clean and free of trash. Even if we think it’s hidden, others will notice and that will affect our ministry as well as our example.
For this reason I enjoyed and was exhilarated to go and serve where no one else would, to clean the garbage out of a community. I am ready for God to clean my life and use me to go clean out the garbage in others’ lives.
