Packing Up; Leaving Things Behind

Good Morning. I’m in the process of starting to pack up my house to move to an apartment. Going into 2016 I wanted to downsize. My children are getting older. All this space isn’t needed along with all this stuff I have in my house. This thought crossed my mind as I was thinking about what I wanted to talk about today; What are we packing up to take into 2016? When you decide to move, three things need to take place: plan, purge, and pack. Of course you know you need to make sure you have the necessary things to make that happen. I submit we need to do the same the same things with our heart before we enter into 2016. Plan – make a list by asking God to help you with those things you don’t need to take into 2016; envy, jealousy, low self-esteem, bad relationship, etc. After God tells you what you need to get rid of, ask him to purge your heart. Say this prayer, “Lord if there is anything or anyone that wish to sew discord in my life, please remove them.” Don’t say this prayer if you’re not serious. He will do just that. Once he purges it from you, don’t pack it back up. What to pack once those things are gone; the word of God. He can’t fill you with joy, peace, love, hope, and faith if his words aren’t in your heart. These are just some of the things we need to take into 2016. Have a Blessed Day!
