What does it really look like to help someone clean up the messy places of their life without carrying their dirt home with you? In Part 2 of Clean Up the Crevices, I continue the personal story that started with a dirty kitchen and became a powerful lesson for me about repentance, discipleship, accountability, judgment, healing, and the Body of Christ. Sometimes helping someone isn't sending them a devotion or telling them you are praying for them. Sometimes you have to put on the gloves, grab the bucket, and be willing to get into the crevices with them. But there is another lesson: Change your clothes. You can love people. You can serve people. You can help people through difficult and messy seasons. But you need the wisdom to know when not to carry someone else's dirt back into your own heart, home, and relationships. And then the Holy Spirit brought the lesson back to me again. Before I pick up my rock, I have to deal with my own log. Being honest about our own sin does not mean calling someone else's wrongdoing right. Accountability still matters. But as followers of Jesus, we must be willing to ask God to search us first. So, for now, I'm dropping my mental rock and asking: Lord, what is hiding in my crevices? We end this episode in prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to search our hearts, expose what needs to be exposed, and give us the humility and courage to repent. If this episode helped you recognize some of the hidden emotional stress or unresolved conflict in your own life, I invite you to go deeper with me in my Organize Emotional Stress & Conflict Workshop. Together, we unpack the major stressors affecting your life—including relationships, family, finances, emotional overwhelm, and unresolved conflict—and begin developing practical, faith-centered strategies for moving forward.
