Hello everyone , I hope all are having a restful evening . Today at work I was going through my notes app on my phone snd came across a title that I was going to use for a devotional . The title name is "Filthy Rags " . So while I was looking at it words started pouring through my head . So I thought I'd just go ahead and post it . - Dwayne Short
WRING OUT THIS DIRTY RAG
I'm sitting here on the steps
Of A little country church
Thinking on the memories
Of days gone by
Some that make me happy
And there are some that make cry
If it wasn't for my savior
I would've withered up and died
See He took this old old filthy rag
And He made it look brand new
There may still be a few holes there
Cause I have more work to do
Lord wring out this old filthy rag
Make me spotless make me new
But Lord please leave those holes there
So I know what not to do
Jesus is who we run to
In darkest of nights
When you offer Him your whole heart
You'll have eternal life
See He wrung out this old filthy rag
And He made me look brand new
There may still be a few holes there
Cause I have more work to do
Lord wring out this old filthy rag
Make me spotless make me new
But Lord please leave those holes there
So I know what not to do
Lord please leave those few holes there
So I know not what to do
Im sittin here on the steps
Of a little old country church
WRING OUT THIS OLD FILTHY RAG
So while I was singing this to Tina so she could hear what the melody would sound like . The Holy Spirit is speaking to my heart . That Jesus fills that hole He is a covering so your past is forgotten . He is like a patch on one side you can't see the hole only the stitches . The stitches that those who know you and the things that we've gone through can see . This is a testimony of the Grace that the Lord extends to us , by them seeing our healing take place . When Jesus showed Thomas the wounds in His hands , feet and side , Jesus was showing just what He willingly did for mankind . It is Grace that works along side of Faith and together they equal Saved . When we are cleaning around the house we saturate our rags with water and wring all the filthy stuff that was picked up out , so we can put fresh and new clean water on the rag to clean up all of the rest of the filth picked up . He IS returning for a spotless bride . Let Him grab your heart and wring everything that you don't need out .
Be blessed and secured .
