Cameron’s Ears

Yesterday, Amy wanted to clean Camron’s ears after his bath. Now, I know ear cleaning is not the most wonderful topic, but bear with me a minute. OK?

So, any way…Amy tells him to get some Q-tips. Camron, like a 4-year-old says “why?” Amy tells him “to clean your ears.” Camron pipes up with, “why? They are not dirty; I just took a bath! I didn’t do anything to get my ears dirty? I didn’t put anything in my ears?”

Amy says, “yes Camron, I know, but they are dirty on the inside!” Camron argued and complained for quite a while. Finally, Amy won, and Camron’s ears were cleaned out. You should have seen the look on his face when he saw the dirt! Now, where am I going with this? Let me show you…

We, as Christians are like the kid. All day long, we have dirt, grime, etc. going into our ears. God, as a good parent, says He wants to “clean” our ears. What do we do? We argue and fight about it. “I don’t have dirty ears God! My ears are clean, remember? I have Jesus, so my ears don’t need to be cleaned.” God knows that it is not what is outside that corrupts, but what is inside. He knows all that dirt we hear will lodge in the soul and will affect our spirit within us, so He wants to “clean” them out. The ears are one of the entrances to the spirit and soul. It is the avenue Satan uses the best to dirty our testimony and MOUTH. If he can get enough dirt in our ears, it will eventually spill out the mouth! Ugh! So Holy Spirit tries, through the Word and other means to “clean” our ears. Then what enters into our spirits is free from trying to pass through a lot of dirt. Maybe we all need a good ear cleaning? I know I do. I think I’ll go to the Father, and ask Him to clean my ears up. That way I will have an open channel for His Word to come through to me and out to others! Ya think?
