The Dirty Eraser

Have you ever watched a school teacher erase the chalk board with a dirty eraser? The dirty eraser is caked with old chalk dust and as she swipes it across the board it makes an even bigger, dustier mess than before.

I saw a church marquise today that said, "God has a big eraser!" That is very true and I am glad that God's eraser is perfect and spotless.

When I try to erase my own sin or make up for it out of my own effort I am taking a filthy eraser and making an even bigger mess. But when I ask God to erase my sin He takes a big bucket of soapy water and washes every spec of filth away.

Psalm 51:7 says: "Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow."
