Clean sweep...

So, I am always amazed when I sweep the floor how much stuff I sweep up!
I try to sweep every day.
It doesn't take more than a minute or two and it is always nice when it is done.
There are days that I need to sweep more than once because I have a 3 year old (and I tend to be dropsy) so I need to sweep up a mess - but other days it is just because I don't enjoy the feeling of something sticking to the bottom of my feet while I am walking around. No matter how clean the floor looks there is usually a nice pile of debris that gets swept into the dust pan.

When I think of my life, I know if I let Jesus sweep up in the kitchen of my heart - I would be embarrassed by the pile He would accumulate. It doesn't matter if it looks clean at first glance - I still need to be mindful of the dust and crumbs that so easily get scattered about. It is a daily chore in my home and needs to be a daily chore to keep my heart and life clean as well.  I won't ever have a clean sweep - but hopefully it will be less dirty today than yesterday.

Lord, please help me.
Thank you for your strength.
