All the dealing is done and inspections are over. We are good to move. I have been sorting through "stuff" that I have saved for years. The baby cradle, the girl's prom dresses, my grandmother's rocking chair and so much more. For the most part ~if I don't use it then I am letting it go. I just don't have the room in my new home to store "stuff." After all~ memories take up less room than all the "stuff."
Life is much like that. I mean we hang on to "stuff" we don't need like grudges, bitterness, should haves , could haves, would haves and unforgiveness. When all it really does is weigh us down and takes more energy to hold it ~store it and dust it.
The move will be much easier with all this added "stuff" gone. Not only will I not have to move it but once I get to the new house I won't be stressed to find a place for it.
God wants us to let our emotional baggage go. He gave His Son to die for all our sin and we no longer have to carry around the baggage from it once He enters into our life.
He can take all the wrongs and make them right. He can give us the power to forgive when the judges and jury say we have the right to hate. He can take our broken roads and make them straight. Nothing is impossible with God.
I am here to tell you it is so liberating to just let it go!
Ephesians 4:22-24
King James Version (KJV)
22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
