Fresh and so clean

I just got home from work and the first thing I did was take a shower! I had to clean my burns so they don’t get infected. In doing so the skin started to come off......it hurt so freaking bad that I cried! So I thought about it for a moment and came to this conclusion. When bad things happen there are layers of emotions left behind. In getting over those problems you have to clean yourself from what happened. The cleansing process might be painful while going through it, but in the end it is beneficial. If you don’t cleanse yourself then more things will begin to corrupt your life and infection will set in. (From the bottom of your feet to the top of your head there is no healthy spot left on your body- only bruises, sores, and fresh wounds. They haven't been cleansed, bandaged, or soothed with oil. Isaiah 1:6) Jesus was sacrificed on the cross for his pure blood to cleanse our infected lives from sin. Let Jesus be your soap and cleanse you from the things infecting your life. Allow God to come into your life and be able to use you to change the world. (They treat my dear people's wounds as though they were not serious, saying, "Everything is alright! Everything is alright!" But it's not alright. Jeremiah 8:11) Though people often appear together on the surface, many are hurting and broken inside. People tend to comfort others by saying everything is okay, but when there is no action behind their words then there is no meaning. Don’t fight against the cleansing process for it is what you need to be used by God. Don't depend on people to get you through tough times, for is God ment for you to go through it, he ment for you to ask Him for help.
