31st October! World Day For White Towel

Published

on

It takes and does a lot, cleaning and becoming dirty in the process. Always at the service, doing selflessly very difficult tasks without
complaining.

Towels are quite essential, but white towel , one that exposes in a very subtle way the very sense of ones purity, diligence, sanitation or otherwise.

Nothing defines one more than towels.

The colour of ones towel defines who one is, very succinctly. Forget the packaging, the colour and neatness of ones towel tells in seconds the tale of ones cleanliness or otherwise.

They come in different colours ( Red, black,gray , brown, white etc) As good as these colours are, white is always great, appealing to the sensitivity of all.

However, not all have the power and potential to keep it spick and span always.
White Towel! mild and peaceful. With an aura ,so exquisite, it suites every personality, brings out the royal and kingly ambience in an environment or trapped in oneself.

It covers shame, dries wetness , exposing who one is , either in dirtness or in cleanliness at a glimpse.

From today 31st of Oct. The last day in October, heralding November and its deep spiritual and physical significance, let your life be viewed and censored from the white fabric of a white towel. As much as this sounds very literally, it is beyond the literal meaning of it.

As much as it is good to have a white physical towel, having it personified and expressed in a relationship, the very best thing that can happen to anyone.

White Towel personified, the greatest treasure one can have. Such person would always pick ones faults and makes one conscious of them, persuading one to make amends before it becomes engraved and irredeemable.

Such a person does not know how to cover faults, bad behaviour and risky demeanour . Unlike other colours, hidding such is easier until it becomes a smelling matter due to negligence, carelessness and procrastination to wash.

Today is 31st of Oct, if you are not a white towel to someone, resolve to be from today. If you don’t have a white towel personified as a friend, look for one now. With such a person, always on the toes will be a lifestyle for one , being conscious and always ready to come clean in all things , a habit.

Beside having a physical and personified white towel, Jesus, the lamb of God, is white enough to be ones towel.

He cleanses us in our dirtiest moments, showing us how dirty we are immediately, not to condemn, disgrace, embrass etc rather to encourage and persuade one to always wash ones life in the blood, for all time cleanliness.

A physical white towel plus a personified white towel and a white towel in the incarnate Jesus equal to a life of infinite access into the holy of holies, unceasing blissful fellowship with God and a peace of mind that is divine.

It paves way for an all time life of constant sensitivity to unholiness , though one may fall, but the brightness and whitish threads that weave around the towel would detect the stains, and effort to wash it off deployed immediately unlike other colours.

Other colors could be seen as friends who could bear and tolerant your faults without pushing you to deal with them immediately.

Such friendship isn’t the best, indulging one and giving hope that with time it can be sorted out. For white towels a stich in time saves nine while other colours would always speak procrastination subtly. The devil and his agents can be the other colours, concealing ones faults until it becomes irreversibly shameful.

White Towel is like a friend in need which is a friend indeed. A friend who wouldn’t conceal your faults and would still not judge you. 31st October World Day for true friendship in purity, in love and in selflessness

A day true friends are celebrated, friends who are mirrors that reflect your best self and call out your flaws with love and honesty. Simply put , White Towel !
