Many of us spend our lifetime collecting baggage. It may start when we are young--a harsh word from a parent or teacher, a cruel nickname or label from a classmate or friend. Some have suffered betrayal or abuse at the hands of those they trusted. Others have had great losses--parents, siblings or friends that have died at a young age. Still others have experienced debilitating illnesses that may last their entire lifetime. It all adds up--those bags we have collected are heavy--they weigh us down and keep us from being all that God created us to be, from experiencing the fulfilling life that God intended us to have. But here’s the good news--In John 10:10, Jesus said this:
“My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.”
The truth is, Jesus wants you to put down those bags. He will take them away, IF you will choose to follow Him. What do you have to lose?
