Picking Up Again

“Some people like to clean their homes or organize things when they feel frustrated. It seems that putting away clutter and removing dust settles their minds and gives them a new perspective, plus a cleaner home…

But what about cleaning what matters most? How can you clean the clutter of sinful thoughts from your mind and heart? King David realized this was a job that was too big for him. He asked God to give him a clean heart and to renew his spirit.

If you feel frustrated about a goal or seem to have lost hope, it might be time for a bit of mind and heart cleaning as well. If you cannot dust away the clutter of stray thoughts and negative comments, ask God to do it. Also, it might be time to write out your thoughts of what is really important beneath the chaos that life sometimes brings. Seek the hidden gems of wisdom among the clutter of life…” (Hope)
