Breaking Chains…

I know people who feel like prisoners in their own bodies. They feel trapped by their circumstances, emotions, memories, addictions, or adversities. To be honest, there have been times when I felt this way. Times when I felt like I was screaming to be free of haunting memories, depression, anxiety, fear, and regret.
Psalm 116:16 “Truly I am your servant, Lord; I serve you just as my mother did; you have freed me from my chains.“
I don’t know exactly when I began to be still and allow God to loosen my bonds. He slowly broke those chains and set me free. Oh, He set me free through salvation when I was young, but I didn’t know how to completely release burdens, pain, and shame. I hung on to the things of my life as a child with a fist full of candy unable and unwilling to let God have complete control. Unable to open my hand to His goodness and mercies.
Somehow, it happened. Somehow He broke every chain, everything that kept me held down and unable to fully accept all the glory that is in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
Today, I am freely singing Amazing Grace, my chains are gone.
