In today's devotional of Jesus Calling by Sarah Young, there was one thought that squarely hit me as summarizing my life of late: "Your capacity to experience Me is increasing, through My removal of debris and clutter from your heart." As I've said previously, heart symbolism has new meaning after having major surgery 18 months ago. Sadly, God indeed needed to remove debris and clutter from my life/heart.
"Debris" in our lives consists of the true garbage of our sins and the emotional remnants of destruction that were strewn against others, even our family. The "clutter" excesses are striving for abundance in sinful ways or harboring jealousy of those that seemingly have too much of the good... whether it's money, health, appearance, fame, or success.
Father, my prayer this day, is for You to eliminate the debris that my actions create. Help me to limit my desires to what is needed to further Your kingdom and thus keep me from abundance that would clutter my ability to grow in Your ways. Our life is to strive to emulate as best we can the life of Jesus by using our talents, treasure, and time. Amen.
