It is so amazing how the
simple
everyday
ordinary
physical tasks of life
can remind us of the
extraordinarily
deep
Spiritual
things of God
I am convinced more now than ever that
we see what we want to see
because
There I was...
down stairs
screaming
for my teenage son to come down so that he could put his laundry in the machine
(but, of course he couldn't hear me)
So I called his sister instead...
"Tell your brother to come wash his clothes"
(and she responded immediately)
and in that moment I remembered that God also used someone to come
get me
teach me
tell me
of the saving, cleansing power of the Blood of Jesus Christ
He wanted me...
so He called her
and since
I wanted him...
I called her
because she had the ear to hear me
and if we are disciples indeed
we must remember that if we have actually heard the call
it is because He wants us to go get someone else
He wants them...
so He has called you
And it is now your responsibility to
go tell your brother
that it is time to put down
his games
his foolishness
his distractions
to get up and
go...
come...
wash his garment
