Pudgy's Dance

Monday, October 7, 2024

When I was a child, my dog Pudgy hated baths. But afterwards, she'd run around jumping for joy. Even the dog knew this truth - after a bath, you feel great. You may not run around and jump on the couch, but it's a great feeling. If we feel that good after taking a bath of water, how much better should we feel if we allow God to cleanse our hearts, souls, and spirits? We often think of asking God for cleansing in negative terms. But it's a positive, beautiful, and joyful thing. If you let your heart be cleansed by the Spirit of God, then your heart will come out new, fresh, and revived. If you let your mind be cleansed by God, your mind will come out of it a new and refreshed mind. Let your life be cleansed by God and it will become a new, revived, and refreshed life. Come to God and be cleansed. You'll come out clean, fresh, new, and revived. And you may even feel like running around and jumping on a couch.
