Free at Last

 

I handed the box of Lego to the staff member in the self-checkout area. She pressed her device into the button securing the straps that prevent it from being opened. The straps were released and dropped off, and she handed the box back to me.

I noticed the security guard watching that I did then, indeed, pay for it.

Jesus is such a ‘device’. As I lean into Jesus, as I press my heart to his heart in submission and love, resurrection power blasts from his heart into mine and releases me into absolute freedom for all eternity.

Jesus paid the price to release me into freedom forever. At the cross, he paid the full price for my sins, even as the enemy looked on, vanquished forever.

In Jesus, all bondage breaks. The straps, the chains, fall away: the negative comments spoken over me, the destructive aggressions done to me, the perceived threats and fears for the future: all fall away as my heart aligns fully with the heart of Jesus, my Saviour.

I am set free to worship him in spirit and in truth. I am set free to walk in love and hope. I am released to live in peace and the assurance that whatever is going on right now, in the end, all is well, all manner of things shall be well.

So once again, I align my heart with my Saviour’s. Freedom!
