Cleaning

Well, today is cleaning day...wasn't going to...because I'm trying to get on a specific schedule...but have to. I have a 5 year old boy who stands up to pee ~ nuff said :o)

So thinking about attacking that room made me think of this scripture. Please read it out loud ~ slowly.

James 4:8 (New King James Version) Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Now check out how the Amplified Version writes it.

James 4:8 (Amplified Bible) Come close to God and He will come close to you. [Recognize that you are] sinners, get your soiled hands clean; [realize that you have been disloyal] wavering individuals with divided interests, and purify your hearts [of your spiritual adultery].

So many new year's resolutions that people make are about being a new or becoming a better person. And if you are a Christian then that translates to becoming more like Christ.

Are there any rooms in your life that need a good cleaning? Selfishness; lust; anger; jealousy; gossip; hatred; unforgiveness; lying; laziness; worldly minded not kingdom minded ~ do any of these sound like you? There are many others ~ not enough space.

Take the time to think of the rooms in your life that you don't like or that do not reflect Christ and take them to Him in prayer. Remember you are His baby girl ~ His princess ~ and He loves you so much. these things do not separate you from Him so don't be afraid to go to Him...remember He already knows what you did and what you thought/think ~ and He loves you anyway ~ but, He does call each of us to repent and walk in His ways.

After spending time with Daddy ~ enjoy this new day He gave you!

Much love to you ~ Laurie Kay
