Trusting that He knows what He is doing is not easy. As you said, we are human. But that He loves us unconditionally I believe with everything within me. May He walk with you (and He will, and is) every step of your journey, wherever it may lead. Blessings to you and yours.

You know you shouldn't do things like this, what kind of boy are you? You need to clean up the mess you have made and tell Lori how sorry you are. Then be my good grandpuppy.

I appreciate your kind words! Fr. David, thanks for "cleaning that up" for me!! Reading your comment left me a little red in the face...What you say makes perfect sense and...I knew that. I guess what I'm trying to address in this post is that I know God wants me to "clean" through confession and repentance. Because that's when He can really do the vacuuming...my part is to initiate...and sometimes I am not willing. Thanks, Tnelson! I appreciate your kind words!

He or she IS a spirit, has a soul (mind, will emotions, intellect) that is housed in a body. The spirit or innermost part of man is always clean because that in the believer is where God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) have tabernacled or made their home. It is my soul or body that needs a good Cdeep clean" but not my spirit. No matter how broken I am if Jesus lives in me there is at least one part of me that is completely clean "without spot or blemish" to use old KJV language. This gives me hope knowing that my sin or uncleanness cannot stand in the presence of God. As the scripture says, "He that is joined together with the Lord is one spirit with Him." Being one spirit with the Creator means that our spirits are united in incarnational reality. That is why in Christ we are indeed a new creation! The messy rugs and dirty corners or things swept under the rug still need the cleansing of confession and repentance on a daily basis. But if Jesus lives in us at our core (or spirit) we are as HE IS. It's the rest of us that gets into trouble.
