Our Personal Baggage

For parents aren’t perfect
They come with their baggage
May kids grow, self-examine
To avoid long-term damage.

But, if we’ve a low esteem
Always carrying, chronic shame
Subconsciously, ever struggling
Feeling guilt, so casting blame.

When failing, we do wrong
Try to bury, in shame
Then, blame on another
While lies excuses, we proclaim.

Once we’re strong in the Lord
And the power of His might
In the armor of God
Each temptation takes flight.

Let God’s Word, be your food
Like Jeremiah, of old
Bringing joy, and rejoicing
As your heart, overflows.

Have you learnt to release
Every burden you bear
Let go of each weight
And sin, to God’s care.

Get rid of the junk
In your mind and heart
Wrong thoughts and motives
That mar, tear apart.

Are you caught up with ‘life’
Desires of the flesh
Deceived by the devil
Let this world enmesh?

Do repent of all evil
Ungodly behavior
Daily dying to self
To abide in the Savior.
