 CLEANING UP THE MESS

"It is God who made the heavens and the earth… nothing is too hard for God."   Jeremiah 32:17

There is a classic story about a social worker who went into the home of a
family and was quite taken back by the condition she found there. The
family did not really have a sense of neatness. Everything was filthy. 
There were old newspapers on the floor and there was a mess everywhere 
she looked.

She thought and she prayed. She said, "God, how can I, in a subtle way,
make them have the desire for cleanliness and better things in life which
they could have if they took the time to have it?" One day, she was at a
flower shop. She noticed this incredibly beautiful potted plant. It was
the most beautiful plant she had seen in some time. She bought it and
instead of taking it home to her own house, she took it over to the house
of that family.

She set it in the middle of the dining room table. The family started to
look at God’s beauty in that plant. They started to look at their
surroundings. They saw that the surroundings did not quite match the
beauty of the God’s plant.

They cleaned, and then they painted, and they discovered beauty again.

When you bring something beautiful of God into a chaotic environment it
can change everything at home, at the office, or even in a chaotic mind.

It does not take much of God to change everything. Like a small candle
can light the darkest room, so can one thought of God brighten a life. 
God is so perfect that imperfection melts away. Even faith the size of a
grain of mustard seed can permanently change a life.

There may be times when you may seem overwhelmed by the day-to-day
problems of life. Rather than focusing on these problems, however, you
turn your attention to the power of God with you, and in your life.

You look to the beauty of God, and at the same time, release any
difficulties to God. Before you can be completely free of anxiety, you
must fully release the problem, not just give it to God and continue to
worry about it. You trust that because you have God's love and grace
helping you, you can handle any situation. God knows your needs even
before you ask, and Divine power is bringing about wonderful results even
as you pray.

As you let go of the mess of thinking and worrying about your problems,
and let God's power work in and through you, you will be free from
tension, stress, and strain.

There is a power with you that loves and cares for you. As you pray,
visualize God's life moving through you and your life. Envision God's
healing life as a current flowing from the top of your head to the souls
of your feet. Imagine God flowing through every aspect of your life
cleansing that with Divine perfection.

You hold to the vision of God's help despite any outer appearances to the
contrary. While you are praying, you include others who are in the need
of prayer. You know the truth for them just as surely as you know it for
yourself. You see them completely helped by God. You are so thankful
that God answers prayer.

No challenge is too great for God's power to dissolve. No mess is too
great for God not to be able to clean up. Trust completely in God to
guide you and your loved ones on paths of light and happiness.

This Positive Daily Inspiration is sent to you in positive prayer knowing that it will affect your life in a positive way. You rejoice that God's beauty is moving through your life right now.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

Dear God, sometimes my problems seem almost too hard to handle. But You will help me to know what to do and how to do it. Forgive my mistakes, and help me to experience Your love; change me into a better person.

Often I do not know or understand myself really. But You know me, and through faith in You I can be full of truth, health, and happiness. Heal me of all unhappy and unhealthy attitudes. 

Give me a real cleansing of my mind. If I am disturbed today, may I receive from You deep healing quietness, and in that quietness, let my uptightness be absorbed in peacefulness. 

Let me be troubled no more. Activate me to a new life through Your Spirit. 

This I ask in the name of Jesus Christ... Amen

POSITIVE DAILY AFFIRMATION: Thank You, God, for the power to begin again.
