Forget About the Stuff, Let Go of Everything and Just Go

MORE on Living a Life of Worshp in Gods Presence:

I've moved 4 times in my life.
From big, England to America,
to small, Apartment in San Jose to Apartment in San Jose.

Each time I moved I did the traditional purge of my stuff
and made the choice as to what goes with me
and what goes to the bin.

It can take a lot of time to do this, and can be
very overwhelming.
And it is hard to let go of some things.
Especially things that have been around for a long time;
even if we haven't used them in a while.

But sacrifice is needed.
Especially if where you are going cannot fit everything.



When, as I have been writing on the past couple of posts,
we start to live in GOD's presence, when we make GOD our home,
we have to spiritually move from wherever we are
to GODs presence.

And this move, just as a physical move,
requires purging.
In fact even more!

I believe that we need to leave everything behind
expect our heart.
This include our flesh, our desires, and
especially our baggage.

Why everything?
Because GODs presence is so thick and so consuming
that there is no room for anything
other than our
stripped down
bare
open
HEART!

God does not want
anything but
our heart.

Something that stops us from making GODs presence our home
is that we spend too much time trying to figure our what to
take with us
and what to leave.
We focus on the STUFF in our life.
and we struggle to make sacrifices.

We need to forget about the STUFF
LET GO of everything
and JUST GO!
