Get your feet dirty

I saw a phrase that made me smile.


"Jesus loves your dirty feet"


It made me think about John 13.

"Having loved his own who were in the world, He now showed them the full extent of his love."

and then he washed their feet.


It also made me think of James 1:27

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."



So we are going to get our feet dirty taking care of the business of Christ. And we may get our feet dirty because we walk in a polluted world.



John 13 also says that we are already bathed and clean. We only need to wash our feet. I am going to ponder that for a bit. Do you think he is talking about daily spiritual renewal?
