Jesus Sets Us Free

A Christian thought to ponder…

Are you tired of fighting, running, hiding, or feeling despair, helplessness, and loneliness? You cannot smile. You feel no joy. Fear grips your heart. You are weary, full of regrets, and broken into a million shards of glass.

What if I told you that you could be free from all that is broken in your life? Free from all that weighs your heart and soul and mind down – regrets, pain, despair, hopelessness, weariness, loneliness, fears, and a darkness that swallows you up from within. You no longer have to fight the battle that rages inside of your heart, mind, and soul. You no longer have to feel chained to your past sins. You no longer have to feel broken, fractured, or shattered. How can you be free from all these burdens that plague your life? By letting Jesus Christ into your life.

Jesus is the only One who can fix what is broken and collapsed inside of you. He is the only One that can bring true happiness into your life and set you free from the chains that have control over your life. You can try escaping life’s problems by worldly means, but the world cannot fix what is broken inside of you. The world can never bring you true happiness.

You can only be truly free from all that has broken inside of you and all that has chained you down by believing in Jesus Christ. Run to Jesus instead of running away from your past sins. Surrender all to Jesus, and he will ablate the darkness that strangles and suffocates you. He will abolish the pain that has seeped into your heart. He will mend that which is broken inside of you and set you free. In the Gospel of John, in Chapter 8, verse 36, it tells us that Jesus, the Son, sets us free. 
"So, if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."
John 8:36 – ESV

Therefore, take the  Lord Jesus Christ’s hand, and he will set you free. He will lead you to the mountaintop and across the stormy seas. He will help you rise and shine each new day. He will help you climb any mountain that you face in life by giving you the strength and courage that you need to move onward.

You need only to let the Lord Jesus Christ into your heart and life, and you will be filled with an unexplainable peace and joy. As it says in the gospel of John, Chapter 8, verses 31-23, by knowing the truth in Him, you will feel complete, and the truth will set you free. 
“If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” 
John 8:31-32

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for Your word and the truth that sets us free. Help set us free from our past, our burdens, and our heartaches. Help us to overcome the battles that we may face in life. Help us to become separate from the world and not depend on it to escape the battle that we may face in life. Help us to recognize that we can’t fight these battles on our own and that we need You by our side.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Have a blessed week!
