I enjoy it more than any place I\u2019ve ever lived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seriously.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like a love-at-first-sight Harlequin Romance, I\u2019ve been besotted since my realtor and I pulled into the driveway more than ten years ago.&nbsp;<br><strong><br>Unfortunately, shortly after we moved in, trouble entered paradise<\/strong>. I was puttering around one rainy morning when I heard a disturbing sound.&nbsp;<br>Plop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I traced the noise to our front window. Sure enough, on the inside of the window casing hung a glistening drop of water, suspended like a fat kid about to launch a cannonball.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"#\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgy9wKQMItYXrV1ZwfBX2S8wW2mcplD_N55zR7U53JG4BSw-M3y-40SAol7FuuZQzxwyijwG_usN194bMTpyvPLWCZs4DPqz9jZTZAMswS9wpJEKnJHuIk6HPcyS7GysgUVMus-dQ5b8UL_\/s400\/drew-farwell-481083-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Geronimoooooooooooo!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the rain continued, another kid entered the pool. This one chose to land on the metal flue of the fireplace.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plink.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plink.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plink.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before long, we had a duet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plink.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plink.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the opening day of the pool, we chased these leaks over half the roof. Roofers reworked the flashing, installed new J channels, shrink-wrapped the dormers, replaced the shingles, and refitted the siding. Their last attempt (five of six), finally fixed the leak \u2013 until I noticed a suspicious stain on the living room ceiling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCan\u2019t we just paint over it and pretend it doesn\u2019t exist?\u201d I asked my husband hopefully.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2018Fraid not,\u201d was his clipped reply.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we did, we might not see the effects of the leak for months or years. But even if the water never made it through the attic insulation, down the 2 x 4s, through the sheet rock, and the paint, it could still destroy my sweet little house. One drip at a time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The same is true with our spiritual house.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The leak starts small. One click of a mouse. Plop. One lingering glance over coffee in the break room. Plink. One drink too many. Plop. A petty theft at work \u2013 plink. A hidden purchase \u2013 plop. A harsh, critical word \u2013 plink.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Before long, our roofs are caving in.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I love my little house, and despite my hopeful yet na\u00efve question to my husband, I wanted to do everything we could to protect it. We should feel the same way about our homes\u2014our relational, moral, spiritual, physical, and financial homes. They should be leak-proof shelters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But preserving them isn\u2019t easy.&nbsp;<strong>Only eternal vigilance, early intervention, and periodic checkups can help us maintain the integrity of that which matters most in this world.<\/strong>&nbsp;Like I tiptoe across the 2 x 4s in the attic shining my flashlight into dark corners, we too must shine the twin lights of wisdom and God\u2019s Word into the dark corners of our lives. When we invite God to search our hearts for sin, he\u2019ll reveal areas that are leaking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jeremiah 17:9-10 promises: \u201cThe heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? \u2018I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind. . .\u2019&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Here are some flashlight questions to get us started:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. Is there an area of my life I feel uncomfortable about when I imagine God examining? If so, why?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Am I 100 percent honest in my financial dealings? If no, why not?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Do I think about another man more than I do my husband?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. Would I feel ashamed if someone saw my TV or internet history?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. Would I feel comfortable bringing Jesus everywhere I go?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"#\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEj1YQ5gYBWC6KisTtpU4SzplzvnT8-cehN5sFBnpglcwOOOi-oOwRFybTm89dMMvFXXdlaRUjDZLVrp7kis4aXrvah8rg2MtCOD-ddvisU66uPaSt2TO8M_EDitT8XTYWcFWpktWCrK4bLs\/s400\/Psalm+139.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Psalmist prayed, \u201cSearch me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting\u201d (Psa. 139:23-24). We can pray the same.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we really want to be clean before God, he\u2019ll show us anything that doesn\u2019t please him. And unlike my struggling roofers, he\u2019ll give us the ability to plug the leaks so nothing but God fills our hearts and homes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Will you join me in asking God to search our hearts and shine a light on anything that doesn\u2019t please him?
