Free At Last, Free At Last….

Thank God Almighty, I’m free at last!!

My title is a bit misleading. Let me explain.

I have allowed myself to be burdened over something since last October. And I mean allowed myself! Because God Almighty freed me from it the moment I asked His help. He unlocked the chains I had been entangled in and freed me. Problem is, I didn’t shake the chains off!

So, there I was – some eight months later – standing wrapped in heavy chains that weren’t even locked onto me. ::smacks head HARD:: DUH! I have allowed every hurtful little word, every whisper, every mean spirited innuendo of the situation to hurt me to my very core. I will go so far as to say I even positioned myself in a place to receive those things! Yeah, I know – the word stupid comes to mind for me too!

But God!

This morning as I woke up something was different. I don’t know how to explain it. It was as if, as I slept, my heart FINALLY heard the still small voice of the Holy Spirit telling me the chains were only still there because I had not stepped out of them. As I went to put on my armor this morning, I realized, “Hey, this would be much easier to do if I took these chains off first.”

And, so I have. Today, my mind has caught up with the grace God has already given me; and I declare myself OFFICIALLY……….
