This was the laundry room.\u00a0 I was a bit reluctant to take my Guest into the laundry room. Sometimes there was a nasty stale smell in there as though there were clothes that had been damp and not dried properly. \u00a0But He insisted. \u00a0\u201cI need to see ALL your house, if I\u2019m to stay with you\u201d, He said as we went down the passage. \u201cYou know I will never leave you nor forsake you, and I want you to willingly show Me each room in your house!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0 He must have sensed my reluctance. As we opened the door it was as bad as I had thought it might be! The damp clothes that I had been meaning to wash last week made a horrid stink as we went in. \u201c I meant to do the washing but somehow there were other things to do\u201d, I muttered shamefacedly, \u201cThings like going to Bible Study and church services\u201d, hoping to make it sound a bit better. \u201cThose are good things, but we are not to leave the other things undone\u201d, He said, \u201cI have given you twenty-four hours each day to make use of. See that you use them wisely. You don\u2019t really need ten hours of sleep you know! Just get up earlier in the morning\u2026.I\u2019m always waiting for you to come and see Me, no matter how early it is!\u201d \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He knew me only too well. \u201cOh Lord!\u201d, I cried, \u201cYou know all my weaknesses and failings, there is nothing I can hide from You! Search my heart and show me where I\u2019m at, and lead me to do better!\u201d (Psalm 139: 23-24)<\/em> \u00a0\u00a0 I realised then that He knows me through and through, and there is no point in trying to hide things from Him . What a relief to have admitted all this to Him, and to know His strength as I tried to do better!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
