I feel like this message spoke to my heart. There is so much to purge to make my soul ready for the next step, but there is just so much to think about and do, it’s just hard to do. This message has helped me to focus and listen to the Lord.

The analogy makes what we need to do to allow the holy spirit come into our hearts clear and simple…..ridding our hearts of all impurities and negativities. Even though we sometimes know what to do, the hustle and bustle of life seem to cloud our thoughts and judgements. Thank you, Joe, for making this indelible analogy.

Some has value but most gets in the way of anything you might want to do. I suppose it’s the same with our minds and souls. Let’s clear the way for goodness. Thank you Joe

Funny thing is, I’m good at chucking stuff out–almost enjoy it– but I do let my interior stay cluttered with useless junk, negative junk. Thanks Joe, am going to really make that effort this Lent.

I’m currently in the worrying stage. Bottomline, I have to roll up those sleeves and do some decluttering to fix up those mess. Thanks for this article. God bless
