Every year when I start spring cleaning, I am surprised (and slightly horrified) with how much stuff we have managed to accumulate in our house. It piles up and doesn't get thrown away, so the closets and drawers become sinkholes for random junk. When I take the time to throw out all the extra, all the broken, old things, it is amazing how refreshed I feel. We donate things that might still be useful and toss all the rest, leaving behind what is good, clean, useful...the things that bring us joy and give us life. Our souls require the same level of care- sometimes we need to clean out things in our lives that are destructive, people who are toxic, habits that we need to quit. God says He will renew and restore us when we come to Him! Take some time this week to do a little spring cleaning in your spiritual life. Clean all the negativity out so that you can make more room for what is good, noble, beautiful, and pure.
"You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness." Ephesians 4:22-24
