few years ago I saw a report on TV in something interesting about Japanese culture. Every year, at the turn of the year, people emptied their drawers in their workplaces, so that nothing remains, nothing pending to make the new year. All go to great lengths to ensure that the tasks assigned by their bosses, are met before the year is out and everything starts from scratch after the turn. Much garbage is thrown away in bags, without any need things are discarded and, if I remember correctly, the method is also applied at home.
I thought about it and understood how important is to adopt certain methods to organize our lives, so that everything becomes easier later. Outstanding work, ongoing projects, negotiation of debt tasks of day-to-day ... if we try a little more, a lot can be done satisfactorily and certainly will make our lives easier and less stressful.
I started to apply this method in my relationship with the people I work with, both at home and in my work, and also with my friends and at church. Never spent more than a year to another with something that was badly explained, some hurt, some adjustment to do. Do not leave anything for later, nothing. I go there, I call in particular, put everything on the table, eye to eye, I apologize, I forgive also and everything is clean before turning the year. The forces for this I find that that is the reason I live, Jesus Christ. It is He who gives me motivation for this attitude, it is he who points me who do I call for the hits and is also me who cleanses the heart of all that is impure.
What I can assure you, dear, is that since they started to "clean out the drawers" well before the turn of the year (at the turn of the day, why not?), something extraordinary and wonderful happened to me. The nearness of God is greater now, hope is doubled, the strength that I found inside me right now is without measure and projects shelved many years ago I returned to the fore ... Everything now becomes easier, because I learned to leave nothing to solve later. The time is now and God is on my side. What do I fear?
Ephesians 4:30-32
"Grieve not the Holy Spirit Holy God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander and malice are all away from you. Once seat to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another as God forgave you in Christ. "

On this topic, go here an excerpt from a poem that is the lyrics of a song called "Changes "
Today I'll change my drawers
scour
play out feelings and resentments
fools do the cleaning cabinet moths and cobwebs removed
and anxieties of my mind
stop suffering
by something as tiny
stop being a girl ...
to be a woman
Today I'll change the balance by
the courage to give myself what I believe to be what
'm not afraid to dance and sing for
habit and have no dark corners
to keep my secrets
stop saying "do not have time for life"
screaming inside of me ...
me free
