Good Housekeeping

This morning I was flipping through one of my favorites writers Barbara Johnson's book and found this poem that made me think alot::

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING

Lord, it is not the dirt and clutter in plain sight that nag at me.

it's the hidden dirt....you know, behind the refrigerator,

in the closets, under the bed.  

Dirt that no one sees or knows about but me.

It's the same way with my life, God

It's those hidden sins that I can't keep up with....those

pretty little grievances, the grudges, the resentments, 

the unspoken harsh feelings the superior attitudes.

thoughts and feelings that no one else knows about but

me....and You, God.

Help me Father, to clean my heart as I would clean my home.

Take away all dust and cobwebs of pride, ill feelings and prejudice.

The dirt behind my refrigerator will never hurt anyone.

The dirt in my heart will.  -Author Unknown

Let the Lord come into your heart and give Him those very intimate parts that you are hiding and have been letting it become dirty, dusty and dingy.  Let the Lord do a clean up in your life, in your heart, give Him everything that is not letting you go forward towards your goals.  Remember The Lord always wants the best for your life!
