Sparkling clean
I washed several cars in the
past few days of various
makes, models, sizes and
shapes. But regardless of their
differences in appearance and
performance, they all had one
thing in common—a severe
coating of love bugs! If you
have attempted to remove the
dried carcasses of love bugs
from a vehicle you know that it
is no fun and requires consider
able effort; the longer they are
allowed to remain, the harder
they are to remove. But once
the job is successfully finished,
the satisfaction of a shiny fin
ish restored to its beauty makes
it worth the effort.
We run into a lot of things
every day that dirty up our
spiritual lives. Like love bugs
on the windshield of a car, sin
makes us dirty in the sight of
God. We usually do not intend
for such sins to become
attached to us, but they do.
Left unattended to, our spiritual
senses become dulled by the
residue of sin festering in our
hearts. The final outcome is a
dangerous and undesirable con
dition of the soul.
In I Thessalonians 5:19,
these words were given to the
church: “Do not put out the
Spirit’s fire” (NIV). While it

Inspiration
seems from the context that
Paul was specifically address
ing the exercise of spiritual
gifts among the Thessalonian
Christians (the gift of prophecy
in particular), I do not think it
distorts this verse to apply it
more generally to our lives as a
reminder of the importance of
being careful that we do not
allow anything to dampen or
discourage the work of the
Holy Spirit in our lives.
Fire can be smothered from
outside or from within. It can
be snuffed out from the outside
by water or from the inside
through neglecting to add fuel
when it is depleted. A good
fire can go out if we simply
neglect it. Similar things hap
pen to us spiritually.
The fire of the Spirit is
smothered in our lives when
we fail to confess our sins and
ask for Christ’s forgiveness.
Like a glaze of love bugs on a
car, our souls can become
infested with the ugliness of
sin. The good news is that
Christ is willing to make us
sparkling clean if we will allow
Him to.
The fire of the Spirit is
smothered in our lives when
we fail to allow Him to refuel
us. Under those circumstances
we become spiritually empty,
unable to shine brightly for the
glory of God. It is essential
that we stay replenished spiri
tually by spending time in
communion with God through
reading His Word and putting
It into practice.
Love bugs on a car generate
an unsightly and dangerous sit
uation, but once that ugly
residue is removed, beauty is
restored and the driver can see
more clearly. God wants each
of us to be cleansed from the
sinful things that have become
attached to us so that His Spirit
can burn brightly within. So if
your heart needs a good wash
ing, call out to Jesus Christ; He
wants to make you sparkling
clean.
