So i've discovered maybe I don't have this christian thing down like I thought I did. I've been going through the motions. Playing church, listening to christian music, posting bible verses on twitter, wearing christian t-shirts... All the typical, media-portrayed christian act. All of the things listed are GOOD (well except "playing church") But it is not the true christian experience.
I remember once when I was about 6, my mom saw how messy my room was, she got super mad and commanded me to clean it, so I took the easy way out. Since I was lazy, and shoved everything into my closet. It was "clean". So It came to be bed time, and as my mom went to get my pajamas out of my closet, she discover what I had done.
I feel this relates to my life as a christian, christians LOVE to hide things. They love it. They make everything APPEAR spotless and pure, but its all just an illusion. I dare you to look in thier closet....trust me you'll change your mind....
So sometimes we need to let God TRUELY clean us. Because we can't do it ourselves.
My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in. ~Proverbs 3:11-12
Alot of times Its hard to remember that when God's cleaning us. So we choose to blame god, Rather than thanking him.
Whats in your closet?
