The relationship was not going well. Our minds and hearts were not mending together. Conflict seems to be given out in daily doses that tasted like the worst medicine ever taken. Things just weren’t working out and no matter what you did you couldn’t make it better. What do you do when something is not going as you planned? Something has to give, what will it be?
If you go to a doctor that does not help you heal then cut him out of your life and find another doctor.
If you go to a bank that doesn’t keep your finances in order then cut them out of your life and do business at another bank.
If you have a toxic relationship that doesn’t honor God then cut it out of your life and then seek a godly person.
If your behavior doesn’t glorify God then cut it out of your life and replace it with biblical behaviors.
If the people you hang around with do the wrong things then cut them out of your life and forge new friendships who believe in living right.
If you eat the wrong foods that cause your body illness then cut it out of your life and start eating the right foods for your good health.
If you spend too much time watching TV then cut it out of your life and begin to limit your video time replacing it with reading or some other activity.
If you avoid your responsibilities to other then cut it out of your life and start being more accountable to yourself and others.
If you constantly waste time then cut it out of your life and learn to handle your business in a timely manner.
If you have become a procrastinator then cut it out of your life and make a schedule and do your best to maintain it.
If you live by consuming fear then cut it out of your life and face your fears one at a time working to overcome them.
If you live in constant negativity then cut it out of your life and take steps to be more optimistic, more positive.
If you live your life without the Lord, then cut it out of your life and accept Him as your personal Savior so that you may obtain eternal life.
There are times when we need to pray and ask God to remove the clutter, clutter that keeps us from functioning in a God-like manner. We need to do like we do when we clean our houses. Take a trash bag and clear out the rubbish of our minds, hearts and souls so that God’s glory can be seen through the newly cleaned rooms and windows of our souls. Soul clutter keeps us from seeing or bringing to mind what we need to get rid of in our lives that hinder us from moving forward.
Begin today to clean up your insides. Some of us will need big industrial strength bags and others may need just a small one. Pick a trash day and make it your cut it out day. Do it once or twice a month. You’ll find that your mind, heart and soul will soon be cleared of trash once you cut it out of your life.
