Baggage

Life can be so incredibly hard at times. It's so easy to take all the struggles, the pain, the hurt and tuck it away deep inside of ourselves. Desperately trying our best to cover it up and hide it like that could possibly make it any easier to deal with. I tell you today my friends, that it doesn't make it easier. We carry around this extra baggage like it's no big deal, like it isn't killing us inside. Drop the baggage! Drop it at the feet of Jesus ! He can handle the load. That bank statement, give it to Jesus! That problem in school, give it to Jesus! That sickness, that family member, that child thats gone astray, that addiction, whatever the struggle... Give it to Jesus! Psalms 55:22 says to cast your burdens on The Lord because He cares for you. You don't have to bear your burdens alone. Never! You can trust Him. Such freedom comes from knowing that we no longer have to worry about it but that the God that holds the universe in the palm of His hand, has got it completely under control.
