" I Guarantee It!!!

Billy Mays died earlier this week. When I heard that he died, of course I thought about his commercials. It is funny how he could make something sound so good. Like if you bought this product, your whole house would be forever clean with ONE SWIPE of your hand. He made the Oxy Clean sure sound like the Miracle we all were waiting for! (and just so you know, that stuff works great on those stains my kids always seem to make!) And he would always say "I Guarantee it!
I would see his commercials and wish it were true. I am NOT NOT NOT a great house keeper. I am better than I was, and I am trying all the time to improve, but still it ALWAYS seems like my house is never ALL the WAY clean. I can work and work and work and have every room cleaned...and it feels good, but then I think about the walls, the baseboards, the inside of the fridge, the inside of the oven. I get overwhelmed with trying to keep the house clean. You know, those times when you clean the house, to have some people over, and you make sure the door to that ONE room you did not get clean stays CLOSED!!! (I know some of you are great house keepers, and this is appalling you right now!) And, the few times where I accomplish my goal, give my family one short afternoon to put me back at square one.
After thinking about this, I thought to myself how wonderful it is that my Savior can clean my WHOLE heart, with one swipe the minute I ask...AND HE can GUARANTEE his work! He does not clean only SOME rooms of my heart and leave others undone. He cleans it all. Baseboards, ceiling fans, closets. That is such a relief that I can instantly be clean by one simple prayer to Him. And that is truly exciting, just like Billy Mays would make his products sound! I am a sinner, EVERYDAY!!! But I am a sinner saved by Grace! And Praise His name, He can wash me as white as snow!

PS 51:2-7
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
