Sorting through the mess in your closet can give you the confidence to check your heart condition, making room for the one thing-actually a person, Jesus Christ-that you need. Sometimes we don’t want to look too closely at what’s in our hearts, just like our closets, because we’re afraid of what might be in there. This action can lead to the same inventory work in our hearts. When we remove these from our closets, we have more room for the ‘keepers’: those items that work for us. One example is to take out what no longer fits or pleases. In my book, Fashioned by God, I help make these connections with actions to take specifically in our closets and then our hearts. When we organize our space as a statement of faith, we can begin to see the parallels between that and order in our spiritual spaces. There is a connection in our brains between actions and beliefs. Tackling your mess helps you work on your heart. The action of making your environment functional and pleasing tells your brain you believe what you say.Ģ. Any seemingly overwhelming task is a good place to begin. If you really believe God loves you and finds value in you, then act like it. How can we set a tone for the day that more closely aligns with our ideal? How can we let Jesus into our mornings without losing another hour of sleep? And why would Jesus care about our closets, or the dog toys in the hall, or the flower bed? We want to start our days with Jesus, and in the right frame of mind, but life is just crazy.
This is not how mornings are supposed to begin.
Then I glance out the kitchen window, notice the flower bed I needed to weed last weekend and groan. Closet troubles can make me late, so I might dash down the hall, and trip over the dog’s chew toy.īy the time I make it to the kitchen, there’s no time to eat.If the kids can’t find their homework and I still need to fix lunches, I’m in dangerous melt-down territory. If too many tops or pants are crammed together, my frantic search makes me a sweaty, grumpy mess before I even step out of my bedroom. Because I don’t have an extra minute to spare, I shove aside what I don’t need, or worse, yank it off the hanger, realize a spot remains on the front, and toss it on the floor to deal with later. The blouse I need to go with my only clean pair of pants might be crammed behind a bunch of tops. When I open my closet in the morning, if chaos greets me, I am forced to push past the items I don’t want to find the right outfit for the day.
