Free Indeed....

One can never know what true freedom is really like, unless one has been in bondage and has taken the steps to liberate oneself from the chains of misery that have bound them for so long....

Being made free when one has no power to free oneself is one thing. God has delivered all of us from the power of sin through his dying on the cross, and our accepting his sacrifice for us. We had no power to free ourselves from sin, and thus we are always eternally grateful to Him, and owe Him nothing less than our total devotion.

It is another thing entirely when one has allowed oneself to be bound - by people, by false opinions, etc. - and one takes the extraordinary step of liberating one's self from those debilitating chains.

Ever since Sunday, when I finally, after years of contemplation, left my church home, I have been absolutely estatic inside.
