dust::Sin

It gathers, congregates, mingles, grows, multiplies, reproduces, expands...really however you call it, the stuff seems to increase by the hour. 

I dust, then glace back and there it is again!  I wipe and it seems to reappear behind the wake of my hand across the surface.  How?  What great phenomena allows for such a persistent foe in our homes?  Yes, yes.  I know "scientifically" why it appears, but really?  It makes me think of your tonsils, some things are just a nuisance.  To clean, and then find yourself back where you were again...exhausting.  Reminds me a great deal of another such frustration.

How is it that you can find yourself constantly making the same mistakes.  I had a conversation with a sweet student of mine, and she was overwhelmed with the idea that the journey of becoming "more like Christ" never becomes easier.  What a concept for so young!  She whispered through broken tears, "does it ever get easier?" It was so incredible to sit and discuss such a weighty concept with a child.  Sin is one such topic that is overwhelming to really understand, but thank goodness for young children to teach...that is the only way that I can fully understand the pure grace of God, when I am teaching and expressing the sovereignty of God.
