Body odor

Many years ago when I traveled overseas, I learned that there are cultures where daily baths or showers were not the custom. People there had become accustomed to living with body odor. Personally, I take at least one shower a day and many days, I take multiple showers as needed. This morning after my time with the Lord, as I was showering He likened my physical cleaning to His Spiritual Cleansing of me. Just as I don’t like body odor, I don’t like the fact that I still sin daily. He is there to “wash” my sins away. Yes, when I recognize my stench of sin, He will forgive me regardless of how many times I need forgiveness.

 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
