The dirty clothes are the easy part, so is even switching over the loads…but the hard part (which will one day be the death of me) is the dreaded ‘putting it away ugh. I know I can’t possibly be the only person who hates it? Who has piles of CLEAN laudry every where? Sometimes even for weeks (so embarrasing to even admit on here hahaa)?? While I was going over a thousand things that needed to be done around my house, I kept mentally putting laundry as “I’ll do that tomorrow” because it’s so tedious, so annoying and time consuming lol. I felt like God instantly spoke to me, “that’s why most christians don’t make it.” Consider putting away the clean laundry, like our walk with GOD…actually putting it to work and walking it out. It is dreaded, it’s hard, it’s complicated, it’s tedious…but its NECESSARY, especially so since we are applying this to our spiritual walk too. For me, I’ll throw the clothes in the washer, even switch them to the dryer with no big deal, no second thought, because it’s EASY..it doesn’t take a second thought, it doesnt take work and it doesnt even take effort…throw it in, and the machine does all the work for you. That’s kinda like the first steps of getting saved with God. You’re at an altar, you’re messy and in need of a really-really good cleaning..and then the Holy Spirit comes, comepletely washes you clean, gives you a fresh start on life, changes the way you look etc. In order to complete the whole task of “LAUNDRY” we must take the time to put it away- we have to walk out our salvation & healing. We have to follow the word of God and organize our lives according to it. The ‘everyday Christian life’ requires us to constantly go out of our comfort zone (talking to myself, hellooo) to put God first, to do all the little things that are hard-but competely essential to showing others that the Love of God (and power) has CHANGED US! I know for myself I feel so good once the loads are done, they are put away where they belong and everything is done (eh, lasts about an hour haha) but it feels good- to feel accomplished. It also feels good, at the end of the day to know deep down that you did everything that God called you to do for that day. To know that you witnessed to people, you shared the Good News, you helped people, you read & seeked Him, etc is a very “spiritually good” feeling. God has a path for us to take everyday, we just have to not be *lazy* and walk it out.
ps. I realized I’m one of those “moms” writting a whole revelation on laundry. lol lifeeee.
