Imagine if everywhere you went in life, you were hamstrung by having to carry this physical weight with you. Everywhere you went. I'm sure you realized that I wouldn't be able to jump as high, run as far, or do the things that I would normally be able to do. I can carry the weight on my shoulder like this and people would look at you as if it's pretty obvious that guy has something wrong, something wrong going on with that guy. Other people, we find a way to carry the baggage of the weight in a backpack and minimize its impact.

It's just kind of hidden and people don't see it as much, but ultimately it comes out. And I can carry this weight or this baggage from my past and all of a sudden God's calling me to step up to the plate and to be kind to my wife and I don't know if I can do it. I'm mad because of something she said or something she didn't say. Or God may be calling you to deal with that person at church and love on them and I don't think I can do it because of what they said about me. And we carry the weight and carry the weight.

You know, it's going to hamstring you. In the Bible says, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains a single seed. Okay? The idea, guys, is to listen. Let it go.
