Suitcases

New song- Suitcases by Dara Maclean

This songs speaks to me deeply. There are so many burdens that are weighing me down. There are things that I carry around with me(secrets and strongholds) that are unnecessary for me to fulfill God's Purpose for my Life. God wants me to travel light. He has provided all that I need. "You can't run when you're holding suitcases." God has great plans for my life, these burdens can only slow me down and make things difficult, rendering me useless for my purpose. I want to be used and be useful. If I had to pack a suitcase of everything I needed, it would be too full. Living for God is selfless. My desire is to throw out my reliance on the world loving God above all, learning to lay down my life by un-attaching myself from unnecessary suitcases.

I've been so ""tied to the ground," unable to move. I'm stuck in my situation, comfortable with my earthly possessions. I want to be FREE!

"Can you imagine what it’s like to be free
Well, send those bags packing, they’re not what you need
Abandon your troubles on the side of the street
Just let them go now, believe me"

These strongholds don't own me. They don't need me. I'm carrying them around, when all I have to do is let go. I can abandon them. Life will be better without these suitcases. It is fleshly and evil desires that have kept me holding on for so long. It is doubt and fear that keep me from receiving God's forgiveness and moving on from the past sins. The evil one has convinced me that this is all I can be. I have bought into the lie that once I fill these suitcases I must carry these mistakes around with me. I have made idols, giving more power to what's in the suitcase than to God. God is Stronger.
