Jesus taught about spirituality as an \\u201cinside job.\\u201d It\\u2019s not what I eat that makes me pure; what\\u2019s \\u201ceating me\\u201d must be purified. My spirituality is an inside job.

It\\u2019s not rituals and religious practices that make me holy. My spirituality is an inside job.

Jesus said, \\u201cpeople do not pick figs from thornbushes, nor do they gather grapes from brambles . . . . from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks\\u201d (Luke 6:43-5).

\\n

I have to be the change I want to see in the world. My spirituality is an inside job.

Jesus said that when we pray, we should go to our \\u201cinner room, close the door\\u201d (Matthew 6:6) and pray to our Father in secret, and our Father who sees in secret will bring forth the manifestation accordingly in my life.

If I want to change my world, I have to change my mind. My spirituality begins with me; it is an inside job!
