5 sponges
Rating: G
Quality: (Quality: Unrated)
There are 5 sponges laying on your kitchen counter top. Each member
of your
family has been cleaning up different areas of your home, but all the
sponges
look the same. You are curious as to what was cleaned in your home,
but you
can't tell by looking...they all look the same....so what do you do?
You squeeze each sponge to see what comes out. As you squeeze the
first
sponge, you see that cola comes out, and so you decide that someone
cleaned
the kitchen with that one.
Upon squeezing the second sponge, you find tub and tile cleaner -
that one
was used to clean the bathroom.
Next, in the third sponge, you find motor oil - hubby was cleaning
the garage
In the fourth sponge, baby powder puffs out when it is squeezed -
yep, the
baby's nursery was done with that one
And finally, in the last one, is floor wax - that was the one you
used on the
hall floor
As you lay the last one down, you look again at their similarity -and
they
all look the same until they're squeezed.
Christians are the same way.
As life squeezes us, different things come out - anger from one, a
need for
revenge from another, tears from one, remorse from yet another - also
greed,
untruth, lust - and finally, from one saint, pours forth the love of
Christ.
Just like the sponge, we can only squeeze out what is put in - stay
in the
Word daily, and be in continuous prayer, so that when life puts the
squeeze
on you (and it WILL), Jesus, and Jesus ALONE will shine forth from
you
Have a blessed, squeaky clean day
