Is your life a little "smudgy"?

 

A stream of sunlight came into our kitchen as evening came to a close. It's always nice when it does that--except--it highlights whatever crumbs have been left over from dinner on the floor!

Several years ago I remember thinking about how when the sunlight shines on a window, it, too, highlights every little smudge.  I remember thinking how those smudges are like our sins, and when the light of God shines on them, they are very noticeable.

Of course, when it comes to floors and windows, we just sweep up the crumbs, and spray away the smudges.  Sins are a little harder to take care of.

The good news is that like the floors and windows, where the crumbs and smudges cover a specific area or spot, our sins do not define us either. They do not fully cover the entirety of who we are.

Today might be a good day to take an honest look at the window of your soul and consider what you need to do to make it shine again.  It begins with asking for God's help.

Even though we are sinners, there is still a lot of good in each of us.  May God restore you to your original, pure beauty.
