Baggage

Good Morning!! When we carry useless bits of our past, into our future, that's called baggage,...and it will wreck a relationship, fast. We all have some baggage, but when what we carry gets in the way, or takes up so much room, that we can't gather up or keep, anything better,...we have a problem,...we become weighed down.

Let us lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us.—Hebrews 12:1 (NRSV)

As we make the Christian journey, we may find baggage filling our life, here too. But allotting room for God's Word during our journey is essential. If we can't make room for the scripture in our day,...then we are simply carrying too much.

Excess baggage can be detrimental,
...but God's Word is always an asset!
O God, help us recognize the extra baggage that weighs us down in our Christian journey. Give us the courage to leave behind all that keeps us from healthy relationships,...and from following you. Amen.

"Our trusting in God's care, should never be based on our understanding of His plan."
