GET NEW FURNITURE
I once lived in a tiny, but cozy, attic apartment. From time to time, for a change of perspective and in an attempt to open up more space, I'd rearrange the furniture.
Moving the couch to the other side of the room did offer a fresh perspective, but, as far as space was concerned, only incremental improvement could be achieved. Why? No matter how much I rearranged the furniture, it was still the same furniture.
If the stuff of your life is holding you back from living a holy life, then it's time to get new stuff. Incessant rearranging of your inner furniture won't bring peace or healing.
In Christ everything is new (II Corinthians 5:17), not just rearranged. To be truly changed, get rid of old thought patterns and habits and furnish your life with new behaviours and attitudes.

Jean, This reminds me of Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
