THROW IT OUT

Are you a regular traveller? Do you travel so much that it seems like you always packing suitcases. With the luggage laid out on the bed, You begin: This "little thing" and that "little thing." I remember the time before I came here in the US. I never think I'm packing much until I try to pick it up. It weighs a ton! Walking with it seems impossible; running with it would be absurd. Yet that's exactly how "weights" of pessimism and negativity which block our relationship with God, are established. Bit by bit, this "little thought" and that "little thought" that isn't of Him gets shoved into the "suitcase" of our mind. Each small act of choosing your own negative or pessimistic thoughts over His thoughts of faith and hope add one more weight. Soon your soul is so oppressed that fellowship is lost. In the night you doom the next day by deciding, "Things won't get any better. Tomorrow will be just like today. What's the use?" God to set us on the road to freedom in everyday of our lives. He wants us to start throwing off those weights of pessimism and get back in the race! He's telling us, "lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith... Before we sleep everynight , think of one "weight" (pessimistic attitude) that you will refuse to carry anymore. Then call on the Lord for His strength and throw it off! Tomorrow we will rejoice in freedom from oppression..Help me Lord to do it in myself..

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 12:1
