If you look up the word unclean, the meaning of the word is pretty basic. Dirty, with synonyms such as filthy, murky, impure, and foul. But sometimes if I were to think of the word 'unclean' I feel as though the definition is me. I'm sure we've all been there (I know I have) We've all had those days where we feel like our day is a big pit of sin and we just seem to keep falling into it.
I've had those days where I know God is just looking down on me shaking His head. I've also had the days where I feel like He's not even looking at me at all.. I've had the days where I'm trying to distract my mind so that I don't have to ask for forgiveness, and then there are the days where the only thing that comes out of my mouth is a plea.
I am unclean. I am dirty. I am filthy. I am murky. I am impure. I am foul. Above all, I am a sinner. I think one of the problems with "church" today is that we sugar coat our problems. We ignore our feelings and put on a mask of disguise. We are ashamed to admit where we fall and we are scared that the looking glass we face every day will crack if we speak of our actions.. And for the "big sins" it might even shatter.
But I am here to tell you, well actually write to you that 1 Timothy 1:15 speaks VOLUMES. "Here's a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into a world to save sinners - of whom I am the worst."
I am unclean but through Him I am cleansed and so are you. His mercy renews each morning, rest in it. Nothing you confess could ever make Him love you any less.
