The Damage of Baggage

That emotional Samsonite you’re carrying around sure is weighing you down isn’t it.  You may only see the tip of the Iceberg.  How about letting lose and let God take care of all of those hurts.

Here are some of the ways it may have a stranglehold on you:

  • Unfulfilled day to day life
  • Lack of enjoyable relationships
  • Carrying the hurt from a past love and burdening the one that that is good to you
  • Relationships that don’t reach their full potential
  • Future plans and dreams that don’t ever occur
  • Mood swings,  depression,  worrying,  anxiety,  shyness,  being reserved

 

If you walked around with a cold, wet blanket draped all over you,  you’d take it off,  wouldn’t you?  So why are you walking around carrying that baggage?

If you’re not living a fulfilling life and experiencing the joy of cheerful giving,  that is exactly what is happening.

So,  what are we suppose to do with this heavy suitcase anyway?  Figure out the best way to release it,  all of it,  because wouldn’t it be a crying shame when you’re near the end of your life or you died suddenly and things you were made to experience just didn’t come to fruition.

Experience the freedom!  What are you waiting for,  another blanket?

  1. I guess the best way is leave all your baggages whenever you are about to start a new leaf. Sometimes, carrying these unnecessary baggages causes us to slow down and we will not be able to move on. :)

  2. You know, when I made that comment on your most recent post about my security blanket, I hadn’t even read this post yet…

    …In all honesty Tim, I think everybody has baggage…it’s all in how you pack it.
