How clean are you?
Dirt clings too much; even your behavior; and when the dirt is neglected, it builds up and begins to embed itself, thereby creating stains and making it very difficult to get clean. So, if you want to remove the filth and keep a clean house, might you consider confessing your sins for He is faithful and just and will forgive you of your sins and purify you from all unrighteousness (see 1 John 1:9). #RoutineMaintenance❤️

How well built is your home?
"Every house is built by someone" (Hebrews 3:4); and some are built better than others. What makes them better is the builder, as "the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself" (3:3). So, if you want a home that is structurally sound and safe, and will remain so, might you chose "the builder of everything" (3:4). #BuiltToLast❤️

What prayers of yours are answered?
If you have any, your prayers will be answered, as long as they are meaningful and considerate (see Isaiah 58:1-7). For He knows if you prayers are calculated and self-centered. So, if you pray as you should, "the Lord will answer", when you call and "cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk" (58:9). #AnsweredPrayers❤️

What keeps you inspired, passionate and determined?
You will be challenged, disappointed, overlooked and underrated, in your efforts to get somewhere, which will, at times, cause you to question yourself and what you are doing. For when you have faith, desire and want to, along with the work ethic that it will take to get there, just like Peter and John (see Acts 4:12), you will; because you are filled with the Spirit, and it is the only place where "salvation is found" (4:12). #BeTheLastManStanding❤️

What sustains you; and keeps you content?
Many are never completely satisfied, as they continue to search for more or something that is missing. Searching for more and better was the Israelites, as they found discontentment with food provisions, manna, even as the Lord, daily, for forty years, "[rained] down bread from heaven" (Exodus 16:4). Instead of constantly searching and complaining, might you consider turning to someone that will always provide and sustain you (see John 6:51), just like he did for the Israelites, as he is the "bread of life" (6:48). #CurbTheCravings & #FindContentment❤️

How willing are you to be and stay true to yourself?
Many are afraid to be and remain true to who they are for fear of not being accepted or liked. So, instead, they conform to standards of others and lose their true identity. Romans urges you to "not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" (12:2). It is my hope that you do not cave in and conform, due to pressures placed upon you, and always remain true to yourself and others. For doing so is "pleasing to God" (12:1). #RemainConfident #Courageous & #ChristLike❤️

What keeps you from wavering?
Just because you run in to challenges or trouble does not mean that you need to change or bail on what you are doing. For "God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation" (James 1:12 NLT). So, "when troubles of any kind come your way, [might you] consider it an opportunity for great joy" (1:2 NLT). #RemainConstant & #Unwavering

How well and/or willing are you to love your neighbors?
As much as you would love to choose your neighbors or co-workers, it is almost impossible, unless you want to move and change jobs often. None the less, you are instructed to "love your neighbor as yourself" (Leviticus 19:18), and "not steal", "lie", "deceive" (19:11), "swear falsely" (19:12), "defraud or rob" (19:13), "curse" (19:14), "pervert justice" (19:15), "[spread] slander or [endanger]" (19:16), "hate" (19:17) or "seek revenge or bear a grudge" (19:18). For when you do, He will give you the wherewithal to live and work among the difficult and challenging ones. #MakingTheEffort

Where do you go for refuge?
There is nothing like being able to go somewhere, at any time, that is safe and protected; and for many, it is their home. Although, Psalm informs us of a place that is even safer, and that is God (see 62:8). For He is "our refuge", one that we can trust and go to "at all times" (62:8). So, might you also consider dwelling in Him so that you can "live and move and have [your] being" (Acts 17:28). #AlwaysSafeAndProtected
