Called and Chosen... a Lesson in Laundry

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
