Extra Baggage

Heart Soul Mind Yoga Podcast

Upon arriving at the airport in Phoenix to fly back home to Denver I was asked if I was interested in lightening my load at the curbside check in. It was well worth the extra money to unload my baggage right there rather than lug it half a block inside to the check in counter. My body was tired & I had dropped the prideful and stubborn nature I had at the beginning of the trip. I was all about unloading my bags full of useless items that I had never even unpacked, much less used, as fast as I could. I wasn’t about to carry them unnecessarily for even one more step. This is the invitation from Jesus this morning. He’s the skycap at the curb, offering to lighten your load right here, right now. Thanks to the cross, He’s already done the work of overcoming shame, guilt, anger, fear, regret, hurts that have morphed into bitterness and anger…you just have to be willing to accept His offer.
