I couldn’t get the hardened crud off the dish so I let it soak in water. When I went back to wash it later, the stain came off easily without effort. No scrubbing. No special cleanser.

Oh yes. How symbolic. When I allow myself to soak in Your Living Water, my stains come off. Without my striving. Without self efforts of purifying. Without rituals of cleansing. Just allowing myself to quietly soak in You and watch the work of Your Life Giving Water over the hardened crud in me.
