Dump Your Cargo & Move to a Higher Altitude!

"And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him and let it drop (leave it, let it go), in order that your Father Who is in heaven may also forgive you your [own] failings and shortcomings and let them drop." ~ Mark 11:25 AMP

When we truly learn to grasp hold of true biblical love, we will find a freedom in life and a weight lifted.

When you truly learn how to walk in love, it will free you from the burdens of hurt, bitterness, and unforgiveness. And with that, you'll find you can move up to higher altitudes, you've never before reached!

I'm reminded of the World Wars, particularily WWII, and how the planes would sometimes throw cargo out from the plane to reach a higher altitude in times of battle and such, I think there's a spiritual example to be applied from that image. When we are flying through life and carrying our cargo of bitterness, hurt, and unforgiveness, all the bundles of memories of past hurts and pain inflicted on us by others, we will not even realize how hindered we are truly are from reaching our full potential. In carrying that cargo, we are weighed down and can only reach a certain altitude. As we take hold of the message of love and forgiveness, and begin to put the Word of God into action in our lives, we will slowly start dumping that unnecessary cargo out. As that begins to happen, we will begin to find that we are able to climb to higher altitudes the more "cargo" we dump.

God never intended for our lives to be weighed down and burdened by bitterness, hurt, and unforgiveness. He told us in His Word that His yoke is easy and His burden is light! When we let go of the past and grasp hold of true Agape, there's no telling how high we can soar with God!

Don't let the trap of unforgiveness keep you from reaching your full potential! God's got a higher altitude for you to reach, but you can't reach it unless you let go of unnecessary cargo and burdens.

"For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good--not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne." ~ Matthew 11:30 AMP

"Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good." ~ Romans 12:9 NLT

"But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love." ~ 1 John 4:8 NLT

"Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you." ~ Ephesians 4:32 NLT
