I have been on a deep journey recently, connecting my battle with clutter and excess to the powerful ancient wisdom within Bible scripture It is so much more than just tidying up, it's a spiritual practice of trust.
The verse that’s guiding me is - Matthew 6:21
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
For too long, I’ve been laying up treasures upon earth - Matthew 6:19
things that are vulnerable to moth and rust.
This accumulation, whether it was driven by fear of scarcity or sentimental attachment, was costing me my peace and my space. It was turning objects into idols.
Now, I'm trying to look at the fruit of every item I own. Does it bring function and peace, or does it bring chaos and anxiety?
My goal is to stop letting my life consist in the - abundance of the things which he possesseth - Luke 12:15, and start laying up treasure in heaven, focusing my heart on love, generosity, and peace.
If you are struggling with feeling overwhelmed by your space, remember that the true treasure isn't in what you own, but in the freedom and function that comes from letting go.
