feet.

wow, motivation sucks these days. But right now, I have something to write about.

feet.

I was walking to Safeway today. I went in shorts and flip flops in the 6 inch snow... By the way, I do not recommend. It's cold. After awhile of walking along the road, I noticed that my feet were colder than I thought they would be, and colder than earlier. I figured out that I was slashing dirt all over my feet and all up the back of my legs. Um, embarrassing! It's one thing for people passing to see that I'm in shorts and flip flops. But they now see that my feet and my legs are COVERED in dirt. So, my reaction was to wash it off with snow.

Problem...

I couldn't wash it all off. I needed someone there to wash the part off that I couldn't see was still dirty. I couldn't do it on my own. and I didn't think about the ultimate solution: put on pants and shoes... Smart one!

Anyway, it got me thinking... You know how it mentions in the bible that you need to have your feet clean before Jesus - and Jesus can wash your feet clean? If you think about it spiritually. I go out into the world with sin, with my feet dirty. As I keep walking, my feet get even more dirty. My sin grows as I walk. and a reaction is that you wipe it off. So, you wipe it off, and you think it's all good because you don't do those sins very much anymore. But what you don't know is... There is more dirt. Dirt that you can't see. Sin in your life that you don't know is still there. You need someone to wipe the rest off. That's where Jesus comes in.

Let Jesus clean your feet, so you don't have to be ashamed walking in the dirt - because you know that Jesus is walking along with you, washing your feet as you go along the journey.
