My dear friends, since we have these promises, let's cleanse ourselves from anything that contaminates our body or spirit so that we make our holiness complete in the fear of God.
2 Corinthians 7:1CEB
Don't know if Paul wrote this in the spring, or if spring cleaning was even a thing then, but that's the picture that comes to mind...maybe it's time to have a clean out, a clear out, a fresh start with some aspect of life. 
Maybe it's what we're eating or drinking or taking into our body in some way that needs a change. 
Maybe it's what we're watching, reading, places or people we're spending time that needs a change. 
Maybe it's a habit that's not helpful. 
Maybe it's an attitude that's not helpful.
Maybe it's a thought that needs to stop. 
Maybe it's time to spring clean. 
For each of us it will be something different that comes to mind, but whatever it is, our Heavenly Father is Grace and Love, and any spring cleaning happens with those two ingredients:
Grace
Love
Spring cleaning is not an order, a requirement, a list of 'shoulds' or 'do nots', it is an act of Grace and of Love.

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
