I thought about this over the weekend as I attended Rock the Universe at Universal Studios in Orlando. Hand sanitizer is a handy thing to have around when going to a theme park. All those handrails and rides that thousands of people have been in before... it's just a good idea to have some.
How often do you wash your hands? I wash mine quite often (being a bit of a germaphobe after volunteering at the hospital 2 consecutive summers in my teens). We wash after the bathroom, before handling food, and anytime our hands get dirty or sticky. But what about your heart?
We see so many negative and disturbing things on a daily basis, but what steps are we taking to ensure the grime of this world doesn't dirty our hearts? I'm talking to myself, here. It should be common sense with all we see and hear that we do something to counteract that filth: read the Bible, talk with God, listen to some positive music, take a walk in the park. Sadly, this is something many of us forget. Then we wonder why we feel bogged down, even depressed.
It's a great thing to have good hygene practices. But next time you crack out the hand sanitizer, think about what you're doing to clean off your heart.
