Currently, the floors in my house are being laminated. As I watched the workers pull out the carpets, that was the first time I saw what was beneath it...and it's not pretty! After being wrapped up like that for so long, not seeing sunlight, it just got dull, dusty and dirty (3Ds).
That reminded me about sin that is kept bottled up in us. When sin is not let out by confession and the "carpets" covering it not pulled away, out heart die a slow death...it gets easier the next time round to do wrong and eventually it becomes habitual. That's why we are told to confess our sins (1 John 1:9) and not deny it or hide it away under our layers of carpet skin (1 John 1:10). Or else, our hearts become dull to sin, dusty with "dust" from the world and making us feel dirty. (consider Psalm 32:1-5).
My floor is being covered with new laminated wooden flooring. It is beginning to look real good. Furthermore, the bedroom feels cooler too. My wife says, its because the wooden floor is cooler than a carpeted floor. So, let's all stay cool...
