What are Things we Store Away? ...

If each one of us had a warehouse where we stored things, and we compared them, we will find out that one does not compare to another. Why? Simply because we are different.

It might be that some things are worth keeping. It has been proven that most of the things that we keep will never be needed.

When it comes to material things, you can get rid of them at any time you want to. For example the garage was made for putting cars in it. I am a witness that some garages are packed with old things. We can decide to throw or sell things and empty it.

Here is the heart of this article. What things are you keeping in your heart, or in your mind? When God searches us, what will He find?

Jeremiah 17:10 tells us, “I The Lord search the heart, I try the reins, even to give each man according to his ways and according to the fruits of his doings”.

A busy mind with things that do not help us, weakens us, depresses us, it distracts us and it takes our eyes from Christ.

There are things that take a lot for us to get rid of: most of all, when it concerns tragedies, or bad news.

I am not saying that we have to totally forget, but as long as it does not hurt us. Life continues and there are things that need our attention.

I bless you in the name of Jesus
