“As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; He is mindful that we are dust.” Psalm 103:13-14

I LOVE my wife… therefore a disclaimer… this is NOT a vent in our house! Now that said, it doesn’t mean that every vent in our house is perfectly pure and clean. IN fact, I get flustered that they are not! I make sure to change out our AC air filter twice a year with a high HEPA rated air filter. Regardless, dust enters and leaves and lays it’s presence.

Working over at the church house, one of the things we had to do was pull all the vents, clean, and then spray paint them. Over time, dust had left it’s mark. To make the place appear new and clean, we did the work of masking the problem. They look great now. Anyone coming in would never notice that there is a recurring problem. But there is!

This last week was Holy Week. Easter is always my favorite Holiday because of this very principle. There is no mistaking the point. Looking into the suffering, torture and horrific death of my savior, I am FORCED to remember that His perfection was marred because of MY imperfection. Though I have received His forgiveness, sanctification is a process.

I am SOO thankful for the reminder that God is my FATHER! He knows all about me… including my weakness. Last night while dining with family, the antics and discussed missteps of my grandson reminded me of today’s verse. At NO time did we consider kicking him out of the family! That makes me thankful and blessed to be a believer. YOU?

Are you dusty and in need of a little cleaning? Jesus Works!
