All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure. –1 John 3:3 NIV
Daily, all kinds of stuff can build up on our hair. When this happens, it feels weighed down, looks dull, and becomes unmanageable. Best hair tip advice: buy a clarifying shampoo that will get rid of the buildup and impurities. The result? Your hair will be more manageable, won’t feel weighed down, and the shine will come back. You might say, “I should have done this a long time ago.” The same is true with your life and soul. Daily living has a way of building up too many obligations, which begins to weigh your spirit down. You feel sluggish, as though you lost your flare and shine for life. Guilt and shame from sin has a way of building up inside, too. Left unattended, it has the power to make you feel unworthy of receiving God’s help and forgiveness. What’s the remedy? Time to detox your life and purify your soul. To get rid of outward and inward buildup, simplify your life, and repent of any sin. Profess as King David did, “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10 NIV). Life will become manageable, you’ll be rejuvenated, and you’ll shine for Christ once again.
God, thank You for Your free gift of perfect love.
Help us to fully embrace and accept it. Father, thank You for absolute forgiveness. If there is anyone we have not forgiven 100 percent, help us to forgive like You do.
