Being Washed

Lately...I dealt with a prideful, haughty person.


It is disturbing to watch and hear a haughty, snobby person.

They are right. 

They are rich and I am not. 

So what?

Meanwhile, I just politely listen (and hope this person will leave soon).  

I suppose this is probably a snobby attitude of mine---but at least it was only in my head.

Contemplating this recent person...I began to remember this one particular person from over twenty years ago.  

This is how I remember her: 

The most rude, haughty, selfish, conniving, pernicious women I have ever met. She haughtily claimed her salvation.

This sadly being said....we all must "police" ourselves in our minds and with our mouths.  

Let us put all evil thoughts away, forgive others even if they never repent. 

YOU are in charge of YOU.

Get right with the LORD.

Choose to be washed in the LORD's Forgiveness!


..."do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? 

Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.

Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God."...


..."This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. 

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 

If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us."
