Max Lucado: Traveling Light

Life starts out with little baggage, but as it continues, more seems to be picked up along the way.

Carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.

The seductive burden of self-reliance goes back to the garden of Eden.

Like an optical illusion, want is one bag you can never seem to fill.

The frayed, worn out duffel bag of weariness is a heavy burden we were never meant to bear.

Worry splits our energy between today's priorities and tomorrow's problems, but worry has never brightened a day or solved a problem.
