Don’t worry, I really don’t want to know the answer to the question. No matter how clean we live our lives all of us, eventually, need to take a shower. Even if you don’t think you do, the world around you does. Taking a shower refreshes, cleanses, and renews making use feel better about ourselves and the world feel better about us. If you don’t believe me, try going a month or two without taking a shower . . . but please, just this once, I implore you to trust me on this one, just this once.
When was the last time you took a spiritual shower? Taking a spiritual shower is pausing for a moment to reflect and evaluate on your spiritual health and then removing the muck that has accumulated.
All of us going through life tend to just accumulate stuff and some of that stuff causes us to smell to those around us. Taking a spiritual shower is a cleansing action to get rid of the stuff that and adhered itself to us. We develop unhealthy habits. We believe things that are not true. We have become lazy in our relationships. Even the cleanest of us need to take moments of spiritual cleansing, refreshing and renewing.
So please, take a shower! You will smell better to everyone around and feel a lot better about yourself as well.
