My home is a mess right now!
My home is a mess right now!
It’s a mess because I have piles of clothes that I am donating on the floor. Pillow cushions without the casing while I wash them. And a bunch of other things that are intentionally out of order as I reorganize, purge and get rid of the things that are no longer needed for my next season of life.
I liken this to what is happening in my life in the spiritual realm. It’s chaotic! Things are progressing in one area, but other parts are messy, disorganized, and seemingly entirely out of whack. Life can be frustrating when you are stuck in between a belief and a promise. The enemy will purposely use his minions to come at you trying to force you to take your eyes off the Lord.
I encourage you to embrace the messy parts of your life, meaning don’t deny it’s there. Instead, choose to allow the Lord to purge and clean you up wholly. Sometimes that involves things looking worse than they ever have. Sometimes it means looking at the mess and the hurt that was caused but still choosing to believe that once God set things in order and get rid of the things that have to go that Romans 8:28 will be the truth for you.
I pray that you find freedom in knowing that God is with you, even in the messy parts of your life. Your mind, heart, and soul are considered a home as well. God is concerned with the inner you just as well as the outside. Let HIM do what needs to be done and trust the process in it all.
Don’t be discouraged. Don’t be fooled by what you see. Instead, choose to lean into God and take all your cares to Him in prayer.
He IS the ultimate MR. CLEANER
