Fill Your Closet with Good Things

James 1:17

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”

Psalm 16:2

“I say to the Lord, ‘You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.’”

Part of spring cleaning is getting rid of old things you don't need or use and creating space to fill your home with new things you love and enjoy. In a similar way, the final step in spring cleaning your dating life is filling your “closet” with good things.

Have you ever noticed how quickly clutter accumulates in a closet? It seems like every time you open it, more and more things have somehow made their way in there. The same can be said for our hearts. If we're not intentional about filling our hearts with good things, negative attitudes and harmful thoughts can easily take up residence.

That's why pursuing God through Bible reading, prayer, and worship is so important. It's like taking a broom to sweep away the clutter and make room for the things that matter most. As you intentionally fill your heart with the goodness of God, you’ll experience more joy, peace, and love overflowing into your dating life.

Once you get rid of negative self-talk and discouraging thoughts, fill the closet of your heart with truth from scripture and every good thing.

Once you get rid of unforgiveness and let go of people from the past, fill the closet of your heart with a willingness and openness to meet new people rather than allowing pain to hold you back and close you off.

Once you get rid of worry and anxiety, fill the closet of your heart with trust–trust that God knows the desires of your heart, has a perfect plan for your life, and wants the best for you. And that if you walk according to His will, you will experience life to the fullest.

Continue to fill the closet of your heart with good things by pursuing God through Bible reading, prayer, and worship. If all good things come from God, staying connected to God is sure to bring good things to your life. It’s biblical, and it’s wonderful because it means you can go into this season of dating with confidence and hope for what God will do.
