Cleaning House or Closing Doors?

Have you ever had company and a house that wasn’t as presentable as you would like?  There are two ways to handle a messy house.  The most obvious one is to actually clean the house.  The other one is to shove everything into one room and shut the door!  I must admit that I’ve done the “shut the door” method when company comes suddenly.  I’m also aware using the “shut the door” method that even though my house may look clean, it is really not. 

It takes time to clean the house.  All the papers must be filed, all the things that were pulled out and not put back must be put back in the right place, surfaces need to be cleaned, and trash needs to be taken out.  In contrast, putting all the stuff in one room and closing a door takes a very short time and then a superficial cleaning can be done to make the house look clean.

This same idea can be applied to the body.  It takes time to clean a body.  Organs need to be cleaned up, new healthy cells need to be made, and damaged cells and debris need to be removed.  The contrast for the body is simply taking a medication to stop a symptom.  The symptom may not be bothering anymore but the underlying problem may not have be addressed at all!  The problem was simply shoved in a room and the door shut!  The problem then has a chance to get worse.  I guess you could think of mold now growing in that room in the house that had all the stuff shoved in it.  An even bigger mess now exists.

While medicine is great in the case of a sudden problem (like that sudden company) and can quickly handle a very acute situation, you must eventually clean up the mess if you expect to have a nice house (body).

Take the time and get your house in order.  Clean up your body right and it will function better and you can do what you were put here to do.
