Excess Baggage
Tired of your excess baggage?
Time to pack it up and move it out!
We all have it. Or have had it at one time. That extra stuff we carry around from childhood, past relationships and other painful experiences. It functions as reminders of the places it came from when something similar comes along and triggers it. But, do we really need it? As a follower of Yeshua, do we trust him enough to let it go?
Some baggage is big and cumbersome, and easy to spot. It's right out there where everyone can see it, and usually has to be stored in a designated place whether it's being used or in transit.
Others types are small, like carry-on bags, so that they stay on our person, or within arm's reach, at all times. Easy to access and use if necessary. If we are to be true to YHVH, true to ourselves, and true to our walk in life, then the baggage has to go so that we have room for the better gift he has to offer.
For that, we might need to look into our closet~not the closet that holds our clothing, but the closet of our hearts.
All of us has a dark, dusty, cobweb-filled corner that we dare not touch because of the painful memories or unforgiveness that will be there.
What do we do about that? Do we just ignore that part of our lives, or put something in front of it to hide the dirt? How can we truly have a clean closet to store our wardrobe (the part of ourselves that we show to the world) if we fail to clean out the dark corners? Only through Yeshua can we truly shine the light on, and clean out, the dark places in the closet of our hearts. Yeshua ~ he offers a whole-house cleaning service that no one else can.
