more on messes...

Thoughts about my messy corner where He meets me continue...

I think about other areas of my life...
areas where I've grown in order...
less messes in many places...

I think about the mess in my corner...
it's a place I would love to be orderly and beautiful...
a place with no clutter... clean... pristine...

I even think about starting over...
in a new area...
a space dedicated to Him...
(not that his one isn't... it just doesn't look like my flesh thinks it should look...)

And I realize...
this place... messy... cluttered... out of control...
might just be... exactly the way He wants it...

It just might be a reminder of my messes...
my need for Him...
how much I am NOT in control...

Yes... I think messy is where He wants me to be...
when I seek Him...
a humble hovel... of need...

And me? I'm a mess. I'm nothing and have nothing:

make something of me. You can do it; you've got what it takes...

Psalm 40:17 Msg

I praise You Lord... the Cleanser of the messes I make...
