How much baggage do you bring 
when you serve the Lord? 
Years of fears, years of pain, years of hurts....
and you wonder why serving Him 
seems impossible sometimes. 



You are weighed down by your own luggage. 
Your thoughts are in the right place, 
but you physically can not carry 
all the baggage and serve Him freely. 



John, who was no Bible scholar, 
had no college degree, 
listened to his heart 
and knew there was something about 
this man called Jesus 
that he wanted to be a part of, 
have a relationship with. 



John chose to serve Jesus freely 
by leaving his baggage behind 
to focus only on Jesus. 
His load became joy. 
Joy in just being with Jesus. 



Remember the Holy Spirit is our helper;  
we must pray for His help 
to be freed of all this baggage.
