Sand, debris, dog hair, drywall dust, food, drink, you name it came into my carpets. Since we have a large family, you can only imagine what those poor carpets have endured. They were crushed, matted, stained and were not fresh.
It is my understanding that sand is the worst culprit. It wears down the fibers. By getting your carpets cleaned regularly, you give the carpet new life.
First we were told to vacuum the carpet to remove the excess soil and loosen up the carpet. We had to move excess knick knacks out of the way. Then they came and applied a solution to bind the dirt particles together. Finally, they used a hot steam cleaner with a rotoblade to suck out all the soil. Finally, we put fans all over the house to dry the carpet.
Sin is the worst culprit in my life. It wears down my soul and separates me from my Lord. Jesus came to remove the excess soil and dirt in my soul. He shows me the debris that is in my way and that needs to be removed so that He can come in and cleanse me. Just as the cleaners applied solution to my carpet, He applies His blood to my heart; to make me a new creation. He binds up the broken hearted. Though the devil comes to destroy, He comes to give new life. Finally, the wind of the Holy Spirit breathes on me and gives me annointing, and I become a new creation. I receive a fresh touch and am revived, much like my carpet after it has been cleaned. It is amazing how everything in life points to the message of salvation. Everything in the physical points to the spiritual. It's no wonder, we serve an amazing God.
