As Pigs in Versailles

I just read the December 10th (a day late i know) Morning entry from Charles Spurgeon's "Morning and Evening" devotional. It discussed how awesome Heaven will be as we fellowship with our Lord and need not worry about sin or cares or a weary world. This sounds great but I thought, I don't deserve a place like that. If I went there as I am today I would be out of place, still worrying and sinning. I can't help but think I disturb the peace. Now I know that by the Blood of Jesus my sins are washed away, they are daily, or as often as I sin, and they will be on judgement day (listen to Carman's song "The Courtroom) But on our own we are not the kind of people who belong in Heaven, it's like letting a muddy pig run around the Palace of Versailles. The bottom line is this: I realized how little I am trying to be as acceptable as I can when I reach the gates of Heaven. Wouldn't it be better to require as little of Christ's blood as possible (Romans 6:1)? So we only have to spritz it on instead of bathe in it? (I hope that's not sacrilegious) I know we all know this in the back of our minds but it just hit me a little harder this morning and so I thought I would share in the hopes that God's word would encourage us all a little (or hopefully a lot) in our attempt to live like Christ.
