STUFF: Trash Message Highlights

We are in 2^nd week of STUFF….seeing what we can learn about life from everyday stuff.  Here’s what I know about trash:

 If you don’t take it out, it piles up and starts to stink.

·         The longer you wait, the nastier the job becomes!

Life is kinda the same way….we all have ‘trash’ in our lives that really doesn’t belong. We need to be willing to take out our trash otherwise it piles up and starts to stink! And…the longer we wait, the nastier and harder the job becomes!

The first step in taking out the trash is to look at the trash container! (trash can/us).

Take a LOOK

 With God

Psalms 139:23-24

 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

With yourself
With others

Take out a LOAD

Tell God you’re sorry

I John 1:9

But if we confess our sins to God, he can always be trusted to forgive us and take our sins away.

Tell others you’re sorry

Make the change

Repeat the process a LOT!

 It’s a lifelong job

  When trash piles up we get used to it

Because we aren’t perfect, trash tends to pile up in our lives pretty quickly. Getting rid of it is something we need to do a lot.

Don’t let the trash in your life pile up……we can become pretty comfortable with stuff in our lives that other people recognize as stuff that doesn’t belong.
