Sort, Sift, Remove

. . . That you may become blameless and harmless. . . (Philippians 2:15a, NKJ)

Good Morning!

We helped Tiffany move this weekend. The activity of moving is always more work than anticipated. She sorted and sifted through her possessions and removed the unnecessary stuff.

Humanity is created for an inner sorting, sifting, and removal process. Spiritual health requires an evaluation of our thoughts, attitudes, feelings, words, and actions with the help of the Spirit. The Apostle Paul explained that complaining and arguing is to be removed . . .
that you may become blameless and harmless. . .
In other words, complaining and arguing causes impure thoughts, attitudes, feelings, words and actions. Of course, the process takes work to admit and confess the need to remove whatever prevents the mind, heart, and soul to be blameless and harmless. As we choose to let go of inner impurities, the Spirit empowers the removal process.

Take time to sift and sort through your mind, heart, and soul today with the guidance of the Spirit.
Take responsibility to let go and remove what does not belong.
Take joy in the results of the sorting, sifting, and removal process: a clean mind, heart, and soul!

Learning with you to sort, sift, and remove,
Kerrie
