Clean Heart Challenge: Day 3: Old Self

Scripture:  "You were taught with regard to your former way of life to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its decietful desires to be made new in the attitud of you minds and to put on the new self created to be like God in the true rightousness and holiness." Eph. 4:22-24

I absolutely love the "home makeover" shows like Mission Organization on HGTV , Clean House on STYLE and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition!  I love how they help people clean out all the clutter and mess and make things new, organized and clean!   On some of the shows, they also show the people tips and systems to use to stay organized. In these shows they completely clear out the room, house or even tear down the old house and start over!  They force the people to sort, evaluate and let go of everything that is not used, needed or necessary.  It is stressed that only things that are needed and beautiful to the home need to stay.

With my heart, this month, I am allowing God to be my personal organizer to clear out the clutter of my heart, help me examine my attitudes and get rid of all the junk!  He can show me what attitudes are not glorifying Him and get rid of them for me!  Isn't that great! : All I have to do is open my heart and allow Him to do His work in me! 

Reflection: What is keeping you from glorifying God? Pray for God to reveal His plan for your heart and your life! 

Are you willing to open your heart and allow Him to clear out the clutter of your heart?

Prayer:  Lord, I open my heart to allow you to do you will in my heart so that I will have the awesome privledge of a life that glorifies your name.  I allow you to clear out the bad attitudes and feelings and make me a new person in Christ.  Thank you for your wisdom and guidance. In Christ's name I pray-Amen.
