I used new, intensified Tide. I even tried to Shout it out, but nothing worked. I took my shirt to the cleaners. When I picked it up from the cleaners, the stain was still there. We are a lot like this shirt.
Some people try a lot of things to clean up their lives.
Some think that if they will just go to church, they will get clean, but the stain is still there. Some think that if they get baptized, they will be clean, but getting baptized won't get the stain out either. I may never get the stain out of my favorite shirt. Perhaps it is hopeless, but it is not hopeless to get the stain out of our lives. You see, the blood of Jesus can wash away even the worst stains in our life.
