3 Realities of relational baggage:

1. Relational Baggage is Painful.

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18

2. Relational Baggage Can Be Released.

3. Relational Baggage is Always Redeemable.

“But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God?  You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.  So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them.” Genesis 50:19-21

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
