It took me days to get going on this editorial. Why? I procrastinated.
What’s that got to do with breaking free? Well, procrastination is just one of many things that can act like chains or shackles and bind a person, as though they were in prison.
When Christians talk of being set free they often mean from addiction to drugs or alcohol. But many other things can bind us from whose power we need to be liberated. Fears of many kinds. Anxiety. Compulsive shopping (a shopaholic pensioner died this month, literally buried alive under a pile of new suitcases in a house completely full of items she’d bought, many unopened). Lying. Perfectionism (another of my failings). Eating disorders. Unforgiveness. A sense of being unworthy. The list goes on.
Jesus is the Liberator. He comes to set you free. Let him into your life. Let his Holy Spirit work deeply in you until you break free from every yoke. Once I got going I wrote this in less than ten minutes! Give thanks to the Lord.
