When you carry the WEIGHTS of yesterday, They ruin the POWER of today and disrupt the PROGRESS of tomorrow. The more baggage you bring, the harder it is to travel. The less baggage you bring, the easier it is to travel. Hebrews 12:1 Since we are surrounded by so many examples [of faith], let us throw off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 1 Corinthians 9:24 Run in such a way that you may win. “throw off” to lay something down while at the same time pushing it far away beyond our reach.
