Genesis 45:20
Have no concern for your goods, for the
best of all the land of Egypt is yours.
We are called to similar pilgrimage. Where
we are going has everything we could ever need. Why waste time dilly dallying
with trinkets and toys when a land of everlasting and exhaustive joy awaits?
Why hinder your arrival by dragging heavy, burdensome baggage? Leave your
hurts, your shame, your achievement, your trophies, and anything else that
would keep your feet from sprinting for a glorious home awaits those who run
the race set before them.
YES! Jettison the crap - there is so much better waiting on the other side.
