Have you ever walked in mud as a child? It seeps through your toes and your feet sink. The next step is just as gooey. Sometimes you just keep walking especially when you are with a friend, it just seems much more fun when you can share it with someone else that enjoys the gooey feeling. Oh, the laughter it can bring but before long the mud seems to be flying every place. The thing I want to bring to your attention is even as a kid you eventually have to clean up. It is the same way with the goo we carry from life's events. You might have thought it was fun at the moment but at some point we have to rethink what we have done or are doing. If we are not careful we are carrying a lot of dry mud around that keeps chipping off and causing problems. It is better to take a full bath washing very well between your toes and scrubbing off all the mud. Get a fresh start. Unlike a kid who has no choice about getting that dirty nasty mud off, we do. When a child
gets all cleaned up the mom inspects to make sure it is a job well done. But who inspects us as adults? God does, He will help you get clean. You think no one is watching and it does not matter how you are? It really does matter the person you think doesn't even know you are around might be the one that is watching you the closest. I guess the most important thing is to keep your life clean and you won't have to worry about who is watching you. They might be surprise at how clean you can keep. Yes we will make mistakes but He will help you clean back up. If you are tired of walking or sinking in the mud give God a try. You might be surprised at how well you clean up.
