For some winter is still a reality. It is cold and damp and snowy maybe, so to think about Spring cleaning is not for now. I mean we still have 2 weeks until Spring, and then it may not be worm enough to do cleaning.
But today is Ash Wednesday. To day is the beginning of Lent. The word Lent comes from the Anglo-Saxon word Lenten which means spring, so today is a day to start our personal spring cleaning. It is time for us to sweep out the cobwebs from our hearts, and our minds, and to give up our selves completely. We need to place our lives in the hands of God and allow him to mold and shape our lives the way he knows best to do it.
Lent is a time for us to center our lives on the life God has for us. To clean out all of the junk and garbage that keeps us from living the life and way God calls us to live, and allowing the one who knew us before he formed us in our mother’s womb, and consecrated us to be prophets to the nations, to mold us and make us.
Allow God to change your heart over these next 40 Days. (actually 46 days with Sundays.) Place your life in the hands of Him who formed you and named you, claimed you as his own and truly knows what is best for you.
So get a broom and some cleaning towels and cleaner and start to clean out the dust and dirt and allow God to make you into the person he created you to be.
