Have you ever noticed how the value of your things always decreases greatly when you are moving?  I have, and this week I have been moving all of my devalued stuff into our new home in Alexandria, Va. 

Side Tracked: That is right, if you have read this blog for any amount of time you are celebrating with me about this monumental moment in our church launch and especially in our lil family.  After two months of no where to call the “stine Home” (Don’t worry we did have the “Stine Car” for shelter (kidding…)) we now have a great little place about two minutes away from the theater that the church will be in…

Now back to my thought, my stuff, I don’t want it!   It has very low value to me after the last two days of moving it all around: out of our house, into the moving truck, into storage, into our home, and at this point out of my ears!!!  I Do Not Want It, it has an ever increasing low value to me!  It has occupied too much of my time…  Help! Garage Sale – forget it, lets just Give it Away! 

Spiritual Stuff? – Spiritual Application?

Ok, here is what I am saying…  Don’t we all have some “stuff” that we are carrying around that is dragging us down, wasting our time, making us anxious, and keeping us back from the fullness of God’s plan for our lives?

Help from above…

Jesus told us not to carry these “heavy burdens,” rather to give Him our heavy burdens (stuff) exchanging our heavy burdens for His yoke (stuff) which is light and easy and designed for us to carry.  He even goes as far as to tell us to “cast all of our anxiety upon Him for He cares for us” (1 Peter 5:7.) Thank God for that… This stuff is heavy…

So if this applies to you, then ask God right now to take your heavy burden (Our “stuff” again…) and ask Him to replace  it with His yoke which is easy and light enough even for You to carry…

Be encouraged this week, and Give Him All of you “stuff!”
