Spring Cleaning

The first day of Spring is a few days away.  The trees and flowers are starting to bloom and the days are getting warmer.  It's time for Spring Cleaning!

It's time to open up the windows and release stale and stagnant air.  It's time to remove the clutter and the items that we no longer need. 

While we are spring cleaning our outer world, we can spring clean our inner world. Take time to review your life. If your life is not filled with health, wealth and happiness, then you need to do some spring cleaning.  Remember the outer conditions of your life will always be in direct correlation with your inner state - like begets like. James Allen stated in his book As a Man Thinketh that "Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are."

Jesus stated in Matthew 7: 16-17 "Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles?  In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit."

Remove all that no longer serves, whether it's beliefs, thought patterns, negative emotions, giving power to things other than God. Take inventory and use affirmations to clear the mental trash that is cluttering your soul. 

As we spring clean our inner world we make room for God.  We are here to give expression to God.  God is working out His plan in us and through us.  God's life is unfolding individually through us; it is important that we do what we can do and should do. 

So as we Spring Clean our outer world, we need to Spring Clean our inner world.  Remove all trash and clutter and move towards a fuller expression of God. 

Namaste

How fitting!!! I feel like I am in that process right now with Lent and starting anew.

I agree. It's important this time of year that we let go of and leave behind all of the things that are keeping us from spending more time with God.
