Garbage truck!

I know at least two little boys who are very excited every Thursday morning. The cause of the excitement is interestingly the garbage truck!

I feel happy as I collect all the rubbish in our home - any old food, waste paper, garden waste and the dust from the vacuum cleaner - and dump all of it into the bin. I keep thanking God for the provision of effective disposal of garbage as I push the big bin out to the curb.
Like the little boys, I enjoy watching the truck pick up all the garbage down the road. I especially feel a relief when I see our household rubbish taken away by the truck.

Isn't it so in the spiritual realm as well? All of us are laden with all kinds of garbage such as anger, hurts, bitterness,strife, pride, stress, confusion and so on. When we are overwhelmed with these things, we unload and pour these onto others, scattering and spreading the garbage. It is no wonder that our world is so dirty!

Where are the garbage trucks and isn't there a spiritual garbage disposal system? Yes, there is! The good news is that it is available to all of us.Calvary is where ALL such rubbish is cleared. That is where the Holy, Pure Son of God was tortured and crucified as a criminal. He has paid for the disposal of ALL our sins and filthiness. His blood that poured out, is the most powerful sin-stain-remover.

You can come to Him now in faith and pour out all that is in your heart to Him. Just humbly ask the Lord JESUS to take away every sin and hurt. Speak to Him as you would speak to a loving father. He is right there with you. As you unload your he, you can have it filled with His love.

Once you are cleaned up, you can be a garbage truck - an intercessor - transporting the garbage of others to Calvary!

1 John 1:8-9 (NKJV)
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Romans 5:1-5 (NKJV)
1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
