A Clear View We have 18 windows in our home. I did not know that interesting fact until
recently when I paid someone to wash them for me. These are very tall windows that I normally
wash by myself. This year I decided to
splurge and pay someone else to do my dirty work.
I came home from work to find my windows looking clean and
clear. That evening the gentleman who
washed the windows called and asked if I was pleased with his work. I assured him that the windows looked great.
Did I mention to you that he washed the windows on a cloudy
day? The problem arose on the first day
that the sun came out and began to shine through the windows. You know what happened. The streaks and smudges began to show. My heart just sunk. Even though I knew the windows were clean,
they were not clear. I knew that this
view would never do and that the window washing supplies were coming out.
Most of the time I believe my actions are pleasing to
God. My view of my actions is like
looking through those windows on a cloudy day.
It is only when I let the Son shine through my life that I can clearly
see myself as God sees me.
I have been washed clean by His blood. Now it is important for me to continue to
seek God’s light to shine on my life and not allow myself to hide any
unrighteousness.
John 8:12 NKJ
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of
the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of
life.”
Are there areas of your life that you need the Son to shine
on? Are there areas of
disobedience? Do not allow the clouds of
sin to keep you form the clear view the Son can provide.
