God cleans us up when we play in the sandbox of life

Max Lucado writes in his book, “Just Like Jesus (p4); When my daughter Jenna was a toddler, I used to take her to a park not far from our apartment. One day as she was playing in the sandbox, an ice cream salesman approached us. I purchased her a treat, and when I turned to give it to her, I saw her mouth was full of sand. Where I intended to put the delicacy, she had put dirt.

Did I love her with dirt in her mouth? Absolutely. Was she any less my daughter with dirt in her mouth? No way. I loved her right where she was, but I refused to leave her there. I cared her over to the water fountain and washed out her mouth. Why? Because I loved her.

God does the same with us. He holds us over the fountain. Spit out the dirt, honey, Our Father urges. I have got something better for you! and He cleanses us o filth.!
