Get It Out!

Do you remember back in school when some people walked around with the pizza face (acne) because they chose not to bust the pimple because it might leave a mark?  However, we now know that if you don’t get out the puss (the dirt and bacteria) that are causing the blemishes in the first place, it will take longer to heal and dissipate.  Yeah… it might hurt or leave a mark but it is far better for us to get them out than to allow them to remain.  We can apply all the ointments and scrubs we want, but if the problem is still hidden down deep in the skin, then we are only giving a temporary solution to a long term problem.  The same goes for us who have deep ROOTED issues that are hindering us from healing and being able to hear and get a breakthrough from God.  God wants to cleanse us from all unrighteousness and to heal us, but we keep telling him that it might hurt or we don’t want to be wounded and have lasting scars.  To be blessed sometimes, we have to endure a little pain and anguish but in the end - when it is all said and done – God will make us like new – that is if we trust him to be God.  So whatever it is that you have inside of you that is keeping you from confessing your sins and getting right with God – bust that bump and start your healing process - and progress.  You will even realize that once it is out – even with an open wound, it doesn't hurt as bad as it did with the pimple was still full.  Get it out!
