Let it go and walk with Him

"Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me." (Mark 10:21)

Most people are inherently good and strive to make good choices.  So.....

What are we holding unto that is making it harder for us to carry our cross and follow Jesus?  

• Is it material possessions?  
• Is it a grudge against someone else?
• Is it a bad habit?
• Is it an obsession that is overtaking our time and keeping us from spending time with the Lord?
• Is it too many tasks or activities in our day so that we can't "be still"?
• Is it gossiping or judging others?
• etc.

If we give up these things, we can "have treasure in heaven".  However, if that seems to far away, how about the reward of having Jesus walk beside you more closely each day?
