Clearout

Since Christmas, we’ve been attempting to clearout some of the stuff we’ve accumulated in the last that we’ve either never used since we bought it, or had completely forgotten we had and therefore we obviously never really needed!

Why is it that we convince ourselves that the box that we received a delivery in 6 months ago “might come in handy for something”, that the shopping receipts from a number of months ago were still worth keeping, or that a pair of trousers that haven’t fitted in 4 years might just suddenly fit next month…who are we trying to kid?!

Sometimes it’s not just our physical belongs that we need to clearout, as we can often find that we hold onto disappointments and hurts that happened a long time ago and which are only causing us more pain and hurt because we are holding onto them. Sometimes we just need to clearout our emotional baggage and how do we do that? By giving them all to God, as He can release us from the pain and hurt they continue to cause us.

So make this new year a time to give all your painful, hurts and disappointments to God and leave them with Him, you will feel as though a burden has been lifted from you when you do.
