Baggage
It isn’t how much you carry that matters but how much you are able to leave behind. (Sean Dietrich, American writer)
From Dietrich’s blogs and stories, we can learn about some of the baggage he carries. Many today can relate because of their heavy loads: health, financial, or emotional issues. Many more are full of anxiety and fear. His advice to us today, no doubt, would be to unload some of our baggage and find someone to help us carry the rest. Lightening our loads would be a great start.
Jesus: “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:29-30).
