"The Key to Freedom"

 
"The Key to Freedom"
“…He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners…”  Isaiah 61:1
            The shackles in this drawing represent bondage and the key to freedom is the cross.  Bondage can represent so much.  I know in my own life it started with childhood victimization, poor choices, and hiding it all within me and not dealing with it.   My shackles were so rusty that the lock had seized up on them by the time I realized I could be completely free.  Allowing God complete access to what was keeping me in bondage was the beginning to freedom.  Denying Satan’s lies and actively grabbing hold of God’s truths loosened the shackles.  Then laying it all at the foot of the cross turned the key and set me free.
            What about you?  Is there anything that has you in bondage?  God holds the key to freedom!  Christ paid for it all by dying on the cross.  Accept the freedom he offers by letting Him unlock the shackles that keep you in bondage.
