Will U Let Me Carry Your Purse

one day the lord sat beside me and asked "may i see what you have in this 
purse?"
he said "you carry this luggage wherever you go, could you tell me what it's 
worth?"
so i proceeded to tip my purse upside down and dumped everything out for him 
to see,
he said "now let's sort through all of this together, and get rid of what you really 
don't need."
this purse was fat and heavy, so it took the lord some time to sort through it,
and by the time he got done removing all unecessary items, there was barely 
anything left that was in it,
he said "this purse represents your life, you see, containing all the baggage 
you've carried through time,"
"if you let me, i'll carry these burdens for you, it will no longer be yours, but mine."


the lord is carrying my purse for me!!!!
