Have you ever noticed that one of the areas of the house that seems to get the dirtiest is the place where everyone goes to clean up...the sink. If you don't take the time to clean it every day, sometimes every hour - things can get out of hand! And kids think nothing of dumping more on top of an already overflowing sink!
Today's random thought is for anyone who listens to and helps others with their problems - that would be counselors, pastors, teachers, managers, moms....you get the picture.
We spend a lot of each day dealing with the "mess" of others, so that makes it even more important that we go to our Heavenly Father DAILY and allow Him to clean us up as well. Otherwise...well, a dirty sink isn't much good to anyone, now is it.
Luke 6:39-42 (MSG)
39-40 He quoted a proverb: “‘Can a blind man guide a blind man?’ Wouldn’t they both end up in the ditch? An apprentice doesn’t lecture the master. The point is to be careful who you follow as your teacher.41-42 “It’s easy to see a smudge on your neighbor’s face and be oblivious to the ugly sneer on your own. Do you have the nerve to say, ‘Let me wash your face for you,’ when your own face is distorted by contempt? It’s this I-know-better-than-you mentality again, playing a holier-than-thou part instead of just living your own part. Wipe that ugly sneer off your own face and you might be fit to offer a washcloth to your neighbor.
