Pilgrim Soldier

I’m just in the process of trying to get a police check done here in Latvia for my application for officership. It seems that, after hours of research, that a place exists that can check me out across a whole range of databases to make sure that I’m squeaky clean.

However, this got me thinking a little about how our outward lives reflect our inward one. It’s possible for us to know so much about individuals lack of criminal activity, yet what would my spiritual police check look like if The Salvation Army were to ask God for this within my application?

Somehow I suspect that instead of a few words saying that I had committed no crimes, it would more than likely have quite a bit on the form. However, unlike a criminal record it can be wiped clean through the grace of God.
