Clutter
Clutter. the word even sounds like junk. I was looking around my house the other day and found a beautiful upright gold lamp. One problem---it doesn't work. The lamp is broken. So no matter how beautiful it is. It is just taking up space in my life for something equally as beautiful and even useful; Something that not only looks good but serves its purpose.
It has been said that the highest aim of all created things is to be used for the purpose for which it was created. When things are not used for their created purposes they become clutter. Just stuff sitting around the wall of our life taking up space.
That goes for stuff, people, negative emotions, old relationships. To some people marriage is clutter. Its a relationship that for neither person is serving the purpose for which God created it. So the relationship just sits on the shelf of both lives taking up space, broken.
To other people emotions are clutter. Anger, hurt, bitterness, a lot of negative feelings that are crowding out the heart, preventing us from accessing worth while emotions that increase our value to ourselves and the world. Old emotions that poison the soul and taint all the good that comes our way. Emotions left over from broken hearts, broken relationships, broken spirits---a bunch o' broken stuff--Clutter!
so we have a choice. If its broken, fix it or get rid of it.
Because in the end, you only have so much room. Why fill it with broken things.
