Dirt. Crud. Trash. Scum. Rot. Mess.
No matter where you see it, it's not pleasant. Then comes snow. A dusting, then a bit more, then inches, and even more! Suddenly, all of the crap is covered and no longer seen. Everything looks completely beautiful and now is definitely pleasing to the eye.
But snow eventually melts when things warm up...and all that "stuff" reappears.
The enemy may try to help one cover the crud of life with a picture of beauty that others marvel at, but inside we know the truth.
Only one thing takes care of the dirt and scum of one's life - the Fire of the Lord God. He burns away the trash. Cleans out the rot. Sure, it may be quite uncomfortable, and even painful in some ways to have the stuff burned out, but the clean and fresh life that's left is well worth it.
