You know what I'm talking about; those nagging people, habits, home details... the things that make Home the last place you want to be. Everybody has them stashed away--those things that make their very own safe place undesirable.
I have my own 'demons' at home. For years I've been saying, "If only I could move into my own house, get far away and live on my own and..." be it nagging family members, depressing living qualities, or just plain bad habits.
The Prodigal Son must've had a few demons hidden away in his closet, unsatisfied with life on the farm as he was, and he did what for years I longed to do; took what belonged to him and left. He got along alright for a while, but the fact is he had no business stepping out to face the real world while the demons at home were left unconquored.
No matter how you look at it, the demons in the closet and the monsters under the bed have got to go. I've tried running away from mine many times, that or simply ignoring the growing fiends, but the truth never changes. So what are you waiting for? This is your life; are you who you want to be? Are you ready to run off the farm lock stock and barrel, or perhaps there are things under your bed that you've been ignoring? Bad neighbours? Difficult family members? A livingspace in chronic disorder? Then perhaps it's time that you unlocked a few doors, pull a few monsters out into the light and change a few habits. Are you unsatisfied with where you are? Then remember that where you are at and what you have is where you have been placed and what you have been given. You have been placed here with the authority to live as you were created to live and you cannot conquor the world till you face your own castle.
