Today I looked at my storage on my computer.
It was running low and that concerned me.
When I got the computer I knew it would be limited due because it was a solid state hard drive.
I couldn’t really understand where all my space went.
It was nerve wrecking.
I began digging deeper. Not the normal dig.
I knew some of the short cuts already.
This kind of digging required going into the back doors places I’ve never been.
I went through all files, applications, photos etc.
I found the culprits.
I deleted some files from the past.
Ideas that I started.
Successes that weren’t valid anymore.
Now I sit here wondering how deep are we digging to live authentically.
Are we alright with the surface? Are we still living off of former accomplishment? Are we afraid to delete old ideas, moments, & thoughts.
Are we willing to start over?
What are your thoughts when no one is around? When you look in the mirror is that the authentic you or the imitation version you left in the back doors of your hard drive of your heart.
I’ve lived enough of my life as the imitation version. Daily I am afforded the opportunity to uncover more about me through Him.
In order to move forward in life we have to know what to delete.
When’s the last time you dug deep and removed the old files of your emotions that keep you bound?
Today I overcame fear. I went back to a place I felt outcasted and hated. Instead of running I dug deep and walked in the confident authority of Christ.
Let us not be bound by fear. Remember he didn’t give us that. The deeper we dig the greater the reward. Who knows you might receive more than storage space in your heart (peace). You may find oil or gold.
