Chains

We all have chains that bind us. Some chains are our past, some are situations we get ourselves in and some are people around us. We all have the power in our hearts to loose the chains that confine us.

The chains that hold us all can be defeated. Wanna know how? There's a man I know named Jesus. He is the best thing that ever happened to me. I called on His Name when I realized that, even I, had chains that were wound so tightly around me. The chains that I bore weren't anything man would see as "big" sins, but EVERY sin to Jesus is big. In Romans it says "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." If you don't pray for forgiveness for your sins, then when you get to that great 'final exam' called, The Judgment Day, how do you expect to pass if EVERYONE has sinned? If you haven't done the one thing the Bible SAYS we HAVE to do to get to Heaven and to get rid of those chains that bind you so tightly, how do you expect to feel, free???

People say that when you get saved, the chains are completely gone, but I disagree. I am: "a prisoner of hope, bound by my faith, chained to Your(meaning God) love,  locked up in Grace, I'm free to leave, but I'll never go,  I'm wonderfully, willingly, freely a prisoner of hope." I'm a prisoner of HOPE! I am now bound by GRACE and chained in HIS LOVE! And it couldn't feel more freeing than knowing that.
