All of us have character issues. All of our reputations have been badly used. It would be so nice to just brush off, like crumbs on our clothing, the emotional demands of other people and the intrusive judgements, by them, of what is right for us. After all, we feel entitled to our freedom. However, our intrinsic lack of love, respect, and responsibility are not superficial, easily removeable blemishes. The stains we wear are woven into the fabric of our lives, made only worse by all the work we do to remove them. We are right to be ashamed of our tattered and filthy garments. "All our righteousness is as filthy rags."
There is only one stain remover that avails. There is only One Source of clean spiritual garments. The blood of the Lamb applied, will wash away the failures and condemnation. Through belief in Him and submission to His will, He clothes us in glowing white, without spot, stain or wrinkle, and this is a witness that we are His. The King does the laundering , Himself, of our garments, so that His children are appropriately dressed to be in His presence, and serve Him always.
I give all my spiritual cleaning to Him. Only He can do the job!
