White, how we hate when our white clothes, sheets, etc become stained. Ever seen how we are eager to get rid of the stain, getting the right product to remove it because we know the longer the stain stays there, the harder it will become to remove it.
Thinking for a moment... it's the same with our hearts. When we allow our hearts to be stained with anger, hatred, short temper, attitude towards others, dislike and so on, we make it dirty.
Keeping the stains in the heart is not good for both the spiritual life of the person, but also not good for the health. Imagine not removing the grudge, the hatred and allowing it to grow instead, because when you do not remove it, it will definitely grow.
I was meditating on this process of a heart being pure and cleaning it with the help of God. Consider this, as you clean and scrub your pots or a dirty place, ask God to scrub the dirt, even if it's still just a drop from your heart.
Everyday it's an an opportunity and time to scrub the stain in order to keep the heart clean and pure.
"A sound heart is life to the body, but envy is rottenness to the bones". Proverbs14:30
