First cleanse the inside. Matthew 23:26

Billy was having trouble with his computer. The mouse pointer jumped around in hops and jerks. He couldn't move it smoothly.

'I know what's wrong.' Jessica, Billy's sister picked up the mouse. 'This mouse is dirty.'

Billy grabbed the mouse and polished it with a cloth until it gleamed. He tried again. The mouse still didn't work right.

'Let me have it.' Jessica took the mouse, twisted the bottom panel open and let the ball fall out. 'See the dirt inside?' she asked.

Billy nodded. He could see the three rollers inside were full of dust.

Carefully, Jessica scraped off the dust and replaced the ball and panel. 'Try it now,' she said.

Billy tried it. The mouse worked perfectly.

Prayer: Dear Lord, thank You that You clean my life from the inside, and make me fit to serve You. Amen.
