A muddy mess! The dogs come in on a rainy day and bring in mud. Time after time we wipe their paws, mop the floor and go on. Sometimes in their excitement to greet us they get the mud on us too. My life with sin and my life with God get this way too. I sin and get my muddy life all over the floor and all over my family and friends too. The mud of my sin is spread throughout. It's not just my mud, but mud that I spread around. It's no wonder that sometimes I think bad people have it so good. The mess I have made with my own mud makes others look good too. But when I realize the mess I've made I leap to God for forgiveness. Jump to him to save me from the muddy mess I've made of my life. And God helps me through his son Jesus. It's amazing! The same God that made heaven and earth cares enough for me in my muddy mess, that he sent Jesus right into the midst of all my mud to save me. In Jesus the name of God is my strong help. And through Jesus, he takes on the filth of all my mud and makes me clean. Clean to live again to try hard and obey all his good and loving laws. With Jesus forgiveness I am free to live again in this sinful world and try to avoid that mess again. Thanks be to God!
