"Sometimes, the path that will bring you the most joy requires some clearing."
Said another way, the most joyful outcome might require a little work. When presented with easy or a little work, which do we choose? When the answer is "a little work" it often means we have a vision of the outcome that requires some input. We are willing to clear the path.
What path do we have to clear today? Preparation for the job makes a difference. Do we have the right tools for the job? Many are excited to clear their garden beds to make room for the spring plantings. They need a little clearing.
Today is day 6 of lent. Lent is a way of preparing our hearts for the biggest celebration of our faith. How do we prepare? This scripture provides a great instruction.
"So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." -James 4:7
We can clear our hearts of pride. We can stand firm and safe behind the armor of God. We put some work into clearing the path of anything that gets in the way of our relationship with Him and with others.
Today, I am grateful for a little clearing.
