Burdens & Baggage


We’re meant to travel ‘light’ through life, not be weighed down with burdens and baggage.  (Burdens are the worries and cares we tend to gather in our daily life.  Baggage is the stuff we carry from place to place and from relationship to relationship – hurts, distrust, disappointments, distorted views, wrong beliefs, suspicion, anger, desire for payback…)

We all know you can travel much faster and smoother from one location to another in an airplane if you only have ‘carry-on’ luggage.  There’s no hassle with checking in baggage or picking it up at the other end.  There’s no need to transport the baggage in a taxi or courtesy bus with you.  You won’t be distracted by your concerns with managing your baggage.

God wants us to travel ‘light’ so we can always be ready to do His will; to receive blessings from Him and to bless others.  We can’t do this if we’re carrying around burdens and baggage all the time.  Burdens and baggage are tiring, distracting, and rob us of blessing.

Get rid of them all and experience the peace and joy of the Lord as you never imagined!  Listen to the Message...
