What remains – Decluttering your soul
I’m currently in the process of decluttering my house
“Minimalist” is the new word in my family
Honestly, I hate clutter
But my clearing out has now gone to a
Whole. Other. Level.
I only have what remains
And it really feels quite liberating!
I have a sense of space and freedom now
That I never felt before
Believe it or not
Now that I only have a few clothes in my closet
It makes choosing what to wear in the morning
WHAT REMAINS
And then I thought
What if we decluttered our souls in our Christian journey?
You know, minimalizing everything down to what’s really important to us
And getting rid of the clutter that weighs our journey down
Maybe God has asked you to “clear out” a few things from your life
To see what remains
Revelation 3:2 reminds us to, “Wake up! Strengthen what remains…”
We need to start focusing on what’s important
And strengthen what remains
We need to ask ourselves
Does it hold any value to me anymore?
And
You need to get honest with yourself
And with God
Because you’ll never become all that God wants you to be
If your Christian walk is cluttered up with “stuff”
And if you’re brave enough to go through with it
What remains may very well
Look like a vast space that you’ll want to fill again
With activities, obligations and other people’s expectations
But this is where the strength comes in
Because to live simply and honestly before God
Takes courage
All the clutter would have gone
And in its place clarity
To prioritize what’s truly important to you
So, be bold
Be specific
Be prepared
Because maybe what remains in you
Is the very thing that God wants to use to bless others
