Reflection of the week

Posted Jul  6, 2016 in Faith

Garage sales and op shops offer chances to divest ourselves of unwanted “stuff” accumulated over time. But it can sometimes be hard to let go of things. In the same way, it is easy to become weighed down by the baggage of the past. We grieve for wrong thoughts and wrong actions. We mourn broken relationships.

Jesus travelled light. He also gave instructions to his disciples to “carry no baggage” (Luke 10:4) – they were to trust that God would supply their needs, as they carried the message of the Gospel to other places.

Before I continue on that journey with God, I consider what it is that slows me down and holds me back from being an effective witness in my community…

Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ, by the means of your grace, I lay my burdens down, and freely follow you, confident in Your promise to provide what I need to be an effective witness. Amen.
