Dear servant,
Lay it all down. Lay down the worry you have for tomorrow. What part of tomorrow can you change by worry? Lay down your grief over the sins you have committed. Has your grief paid the price for your sin? Lay down your fear over the future. Who holds the future in his hand? Lay down your pride. Honestly, absent of me what have you ever done that is good, whole and pure? Lay down your self loathing. If I love you, despite yourself, is not that enough? Lay down your self pity. You are a child of the king. Lay down the unforgiveness you harbor towards others. Did I not pay for their sin just like I did yours? Lay down the rumors and lies. I am the father of truth and I have given you the spirit of truth. Lay down all the stuff you desire. If you truly needed it would I deny you any of it? Lay it down, lay it all down.
Ready to receive, I AM
