Post #43 - Spring Cleaning

My aunt had fallen out of love with her house and decided that she was going to move out of it at the end of her lease. 

But, at the last minute, she changed her mind and decided that instead of moving, she would do some redecorating and spring cleaning. 

Sometimes, a bit of spring cleaning and redecorating is what we need for our lives.

We cannot change our pasts or trade in our lives for a new one. But, we can take care of the one we have.

We need to acknowledge the issues that our past and present situations have created, and deal with them. 

We need to do some mental and spiritual clean up.

In doing this, we have to let go of the people and possessions that do not benefit us. And purge the habits and attitudes that keep us bound. 

We have to ask ourselves if the things we are doing and the way we are doing them is acceptable. 

We need to conduct an honest evaluation of ourselves. Of the way we do things and the way we treat people. 

Are we loving or hurting people? 

Are we giving or just taking?

Are we selfish in our ways or are we willing to compromise?

And if we are lacking anything upon the completion of our self evaluation - if anything needed to be purged - we should fill it with the word of God. 

Use the bible to redecorate. 

Apply the lessons of the bible to your life and watch it change for the better!

We can't move out of the life that we are living in. But, we can clean it up and make it livable again.
