Living light.

I've been thinking lately on the principle of living light.  Jesus, in Matthew tells his disciples to live light, He says he will teach them how to live lightly.  I keep wondering what this means.  Is He talking about living light spiritually or physically?  I think both, but living light physically is what interests me the most.  This idea of living light is especially pressing personally due to the time I find myself in.  I want, more than anything, to go out into the world, to travel with God.  I want to become Todays Paul.  But Something is holding me back, something is keeping me from walking in the full potential God has for my life.  My years of wanting things, my years of not understanding that God had better things for me than anything I could buy myself.  Those years caught up to me and broke my leg, they kept me from moving, they kept me in partial light.  For awhile I didn't realize what those years did to me. I thought I was just experiencing a process of becoming an adult.  Buying the car meant I was becoming a good responsible Christian American.  Now I realize that car is keeping me from a full life.

"Don't think you have to put on a fund-raising campaign before you start.You don't need a lot of equipment. You are the equipment, and all you need to keep that going is three meals a day. Travel light."When you enter a town or village, don't insist on staying in a luxury inn. Get a modest place with some modest people, and be content there until you leave." Matthew 10. 

I realize this is not a universal message to the entire church.  Everyone has different callings.  Some people are meant to stay in the local church and be staples of their community, while others are supposed to traverse the globe and travel light.
This concept, this principle has consumed me.  I cannot get this idea of living light out of my mind.

Jesus, I pray that You would make this principle You taught Your disciples known to me.  That You would reveal the plan for my life, that You would show me what it means to live light and how to accomplish the task.  Show me how to become Paul.  show me how to live free.
