Believe it or not, STUFFING stuff could reflect how CLEAN we are on the inside.
“If you kids don’t get your room cleaned up you’re not going to XYZ!”
If I had $5 for every time I said that to my girls, I’d be Retired! And yet, when I go to their room after they INSISTED everything is picked up…. it APPEARS everything is good on the outside.. but once I open that closet door, drawers, or under bed.. I’m sure we’ve all found the same horrors greeting us! THE STUFF STUFFED!!!
If you’ve never done the “Quick Clean” because you Just found out a couple minutes ago that a guest is arriving or your parents are popping over… then this blog might not be for you! Because although I love nothing more than perfectionism and having a place for everything, I know I’M NOT PERFECT and I won’t judge a single man or woman who isn’t. I get it! Life is crazy busy!
But what does Matthew 6:33 tell us.. “Seek First the Kingdom of God and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS and ALL these things will be added unto you…”
I Wish that meant…’ok so if I spend my morning time with God and I put him first then I don’t have to clean my house. He will have angels come and knock on my door and they will do all of my work for me so I can use my time to dwell at His feet eating chocolates.’ 😂
Unfortunately that has NOT happened for me yet 😂But What HAS HAPPENED is; I have more patience with my children when I see they’ve stuffed stuff into their closet! I see my blood does not run as hot when I discover My 4 yr old has been experimenting and has cookie crumbs and juice in her play kitchen sink where swarms of ants have gathered for the feast! Lord help us!!!
When I have taken time to Be in the presence of King Jesus 1st, even if it’s listening to the Bible app scripture audio instead of music while doing my hair before rushing out the door, ~ or Talking to Him to invite Him to sit next to me in the car & Be Present with me in every encounter He knows will take place today. It is then that I notice HIS PRESENCE IS CLEANING THE LESS OBVIOUS PLACES of my Heart and Soul and setting the pace for a Cleaner Day of Living!
