Windows

I was thinking about some friends of mine today and that they are getting estimates on new windows for their living room. They need the new windows because the old ones are just about ready to fall out of their home, literally. The cost of new windows or repairing windows is incredibly expensive. My friends could go on and not replace the window. If they do not replace it will they have to consider if the cost of the window simply falling out of the house leaving a HUGE, GAPING hole would be worse than simply investing into a new window.

Some of us need new windows, maybe a new eyes view. We need new windows to be able to see better into this world and into God’s kingdom. The Bible talks about how we need to count the cost, Luke 14:28 “But don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it?”

We all have areas in our lives that need repairs and much handiwork from God. The estimates for the repairs can seem to be very costly or they can be very inexpensive. We can rest in the fact that God desires all of us to be transformed and that He has enough grace, strength, power and money to make the changes HE desires.

As we choose to get, invest in, save for, or spend ourselves on, our new ‘windows’, our eyes and views in our household will be open to see differently in the natural and in the spirit. In addition, if there are any windows that need to be repositioned or just taken out completely (windows to bad attitudes, negativity, selfishness, anger, gossip, gluttony, fear, pornography, lust, greed, etc.) we need to be willing to allow the Lord to reposition or take out the window to the improper views. When we allow repositioning of the windows or even the extraction of the windows, it allows our ‘living room’ to be repositioned as well. God is looking at you and I waiting to bust open wide and reposition HIS LIVING room in our hearts. Woot!

I love to look through new or clean windows…how about you? Do you need a new window or one cleaned up?
