Has Anyone Ever Told You That Your Doo Doo Stinks?

I was listening to a song tonight by a popular Christian rapper. There was a line that he used in reference to himself that really made me think. He said, "Simple minded little punk, and I was a chump, no one ever told me that my doo doo stunk."

Toilet humor makes me laugh, so after laughing and taking a second to think about what he was getting at, I realized there may be a lesson in this. Think about it, if we all realized that we are all the same, no matter what our economic status, race, education level, or any other marker that we can imagine, this world would be a much different place. At the end of the day, or at the beginning, whichever you prefer, all of us have stinky poop.

Paul wrote to the Christians in Rome , that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Basically, none of us measure up, and there is nothing that we can do to measure up. Thank God, He did not let all of our problems keep Him from loving us. Thankfully, He saw us through eyes that could see past our stinky poop. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us, demonstrating God's amazing love for this fallen world.

Just remember as you live in the world and deal with the people in your circle of influence, that your doo doo stinks just like theirs, and whether they seem worthy or not, they deserve to know Christ's love.
