Can you hear the love pleading in Matthew today? (Matthew 23:15-36) Jesus cries out five times to those leading the people: Woe, Woe,Woe, Woe, Woe. It can be translated, "What sorrow awaits you".
Being the resident cleaning lady, I noticed verse 25: "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence."

Hmm.... It reminds me how I still feel drawn to clean up the place verses playing that game of ball or calling that long-winded lonely neighbor. I still get great satisfaction from things and me - looking good.
Lord, help me to become satisfied with Your perspective - the inside order and beauty of love. Thank you for reminders that cleaning should be an inside job.
