The Parable of the Leaky Faucet
I’m sure that we’ve all
experienced the annoyance of a leaky faucet.
It is a simple fix, but if we let it go, it just gets more and more
annoying each day. We hear it while
we’re lying in bed trying to sleep and it keeps us up. We’re trying to read a favorite book and it
breaks our concentration. We are talking
on the phone and are unable to concentrate on our conversation because of the
distracting leak!
Our sins are the leaky faucets
of our spirits. They can be easy to fix,
but if we let them go, they become more and more troublesome each day. We will think about them while trying to
sleep at night, while trying to relax and while working with others. If we let them go too long, it is too late
and we are stuck with our sins. I pray
that we will take the time each day to truly repent of our sins so that we can
go about our lives with a clear mind and a clear conscious.
