More from the “Seeds of David”: Beloved of the heart of God
I’m building a home of hearts. A cozy and special home right there in your heart. I wish for it to be a place where the Lord of love visits often and enjoys your company. Sometimes it takes removing this and that, to make room, just like any house needs. 
The spiritual health and wellbeing of your heart--of your soul, the inner you that lives and thinks and decides and feels things long after they have happened—takes much the same kind of care as a house you live in. The upkeep of a house and the nourishing of a home full of loved ones is such a good example, like an object lesson of what a person must do to keep in good mental and heart health. 
Let’s take each thing and go over it, just for fun, for this little lesson.
Food shopping and preparing, and proper storage of it. –That’s like garnering, gathering, preparing and keeping safe the spiritual foods you need to maintain good spiritual health.
There’s the plumbing and water systems. –That’s like making sure to get purged of ill feelings towards your brothers and sisters, and having times of heart washing in deep communion with Jesus; time to talk and pray and listen.
There’s rooming arrangements of who lives where, bed fix-ups, furniture choices, and floor plan set ups. –That is like making sure you have all the different things baked into your life, fitting in the important things. It might take time and effort, and might be a bit of a squeeze to get it all in. 
There’s setting the table, eating the food, doing the dishes, and planning the menu. –That is like choosing the right input you feed on. There are lots of things that go into you, through your eyes, your ears, your thoughts. You need to guard that only good comes in; and it takes work sometimes to serve all the best things to others as well. Getting and giving input of any type will always require a bit of work, and choice. But it’s a daily thing. And most of the time these days it involves keeping out whatever shouldn’t be served. Whereas before, it was more like you choose what to partake of, now adays it’s, “quick rush into the kitchen and find and remove what wrong things others are trying to put on the table, before people just start eating.”
There’s yard upkeep too. –That is like keeping watch on what others see and hear about you, your outer appearance. What you do and say will affect you too. –Because it just does, and also because the reactions of others to whatever you do and say, affects you in a real way, of course.
There’s the lighting and air systems, to make sure a house is lit well, and smells good, and is as healthy and comfortable as is possible. –That’s like the fruits of the spirit coming to you, by letting God’s special Holy Spirit inhabit you. Light and air. Enlightenment (understanding) and the breath of God, His spirit living and moving in you, and bringing you to life.
That’s all for now. Happy house set up.
