Well, it's confession time here at FathomDeep. I'm going to let you in on one of my secrets. I tend to be a perfectionist. No, that's not the secret. If you've spent ten minutes with me, you know that I'm a perfectionist. I've gotten a lot better since I became a mom, but I still like my house very clean. However, there are those times when we have company over, and there's that last load of laundry that I just don't have time to fold. What do I do with it? Here comes the secret. Well, it ends up in the closet. That's right. I just stick basket and all in the closet until the guests leave. Then I pull it out and fold it (if it isn't too late, of course).
My question is this: what is in your spiritual closet? When you spend time with God, what gets shoved into the closet that you don't want Him see? We all have areas of our lives where we need God's work. If you don't, you are either dead or lying. The trick is to allow Him to work. He will not force His change upon us.
Most of us despise change. We usually avoid it at all costs, but we should crave God's changes in us. Let me challenge you with this: next time you go to prayer, ask God what one thing He wants to work on in your life. You may be surprised at His response. So, as we start a new week, let's pull the laundry out of the closet and allow God to put it away where it belongs!
Blessings!
