JUMP!

I spun a little cobweb in my heart today.
Who will sweep this mess away?
A web of doubt, of stress and worry.
No time with the Lord; I'm in a hurry.

I spun a little cobweb in my heart today.
Who will sweep this mess away?
A web of fear, from lack of trust.
A web of self-reliance, saying that "I must."

I spun a little cobweb in my heart today.
Who will sweep this mess away?
A web of hatred and discontent.
A web of pride and quick judgement.

I spun a little cobweb in my heart today.
Who will sweep this mess away?
A web of longing for earthly things;
of wanting what the world brings.

I spun a little cobweb in my heart today.
Who will sweep this mess away?
Then I heard my Saviors voice
as He softly said...
"The broom is in my hand, my child,
but you must jump off the web."


How often do we know that our sin needs to be swept away, yet we continue to cling to it, even if only by a thread? Our Savior wants to sweep our hearts clean of all unrighteousness! He wants us to JUMP! To turn away completely from whatever sins we're still holding onto. He is standing there waiting for us to give the mess to Him. If we're still holding on when He starts to sweep... we may find that our life will be bounced around and we may get bumped in the process. But when we turn completely and allow Him to work... our hearts will sparkle when He is done; As they will be filled with His glory! Just as cobwebs gather in an empty house... sin gathers in an empty heart. But when we are filled with His presence, those cobwebs we spin... cannot remain, because the broom is in His hands!
