During my quiet time this morning, I was praying when God showed me something neat. He pointed out my sparkling kitchen and then all the rest of the house that I'm not as proud of. Then He likened it to my heart. I have a beautiful, sparkling clean room in my heart for God, but I also have some doors in the back that I like to keep closed because they're covered with cobwebs.
I thought this was a pretty powerful analogy and I committed to cleaning out the areas of my heart along with my house! I don't want to have any areas of my life/heart that are yucky and hidden from view. I want God to feel at home and welcomed and comfortable in all areas of my heart.

"My Heart, Christ's Home" by Robert Boyd Munger uses the exact same analogy. We have 2 copies, let us know if you want one.
Ooh. Yes. Very powerful!
Unfortunately, in my house, there are no clean rooms. What does that say about my heart? !! :oP
Kidding.
I thank God that He provides a cleaning service to help us with that gigantic task. The Holy Spirit is our personal coach and empowers us both to identify those hidden cobwebs and to sweep them away.
