What's your baggage?

I was watching How I met your Mother the other night, and was struck by Ted's character working through his baggage. The last thing the narrator states before the episode concludes is "Everyone has baggage." I suppose that is true. but, isn't God bigger than that? Are there flaws and hurts in past relationships that we can carry with us that are more pervasive than God's rejuvenating work in our lives? Didn't Jesus die while God was in Him reconciling the worked to Himself (as stated in 2 Timothy)? So, if God lessened Himself to be in His son in an effort to restore the relationship of His people to Himself, can't we do the same?
Isn't it time to let go of the baggage?
What is the baggage in your life that God is asking you to drop?
