Lay Aside


Lay aside those things you have always cherished

Pain and sorrow, you chose, not forget

Unsheathe the blades that keep cutting

Go to Him, your need, He has met

All the things that are shackling and holding us down are the weights of life’s negativities. In order to cleanse ourselves from these negativities, we need to recognize God as our comfort and relief. We are blind, crippled, and motionless without God. Our relationship with Him is the way of detoxifying ourselves from the difficulties and hardships we are undergoing. It is not healthy to remain and become stuck in one place. Instead, take action by leaving away the excess baggage and picking yourself up to move on and seek God. It is a challenge for us to realize that sometimes, we cannot do it all. We become so enveloped and engrossed by pride that we become ignorant to seek guidance and help. Hebrews 12:1 states:

“Wherefore seeing, we also are compassed with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.”

If we ask, it will be given to us. If we can get to our Heavenly Father, we will be alright. Being around God means that we have access to everything. In addition, pride is a reality issue. Many times, people often have pride but in reality, we need God. People need to realize that as God’s creation, there needs to be practical application of seeking Him everyday. Be proud that you are a believer of God. The Lord’s doing is the answer to your questions.

May God Bless You All.
