I was a bit reluctant to take my Guest into the laundry room. But He insisted. \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 feared. The damp clothes that I had been meaning to wash last week made a horrid smell 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. I still hadn’t learned that He knows it all anyway….there was no way I could fool Him!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThose things 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<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\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 He knows me through and through, so there is no point in trying to hide things from Him . I didn’t waste any time getting those clothes into the machine after He had gone, and it was such a good feeling to be able to get them clean again! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the same way, we have in Him redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace .
