Be Free!

Galatians 5:1 English Standard Version (ESV)

Christ Has Set Us Free

5 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

Romans 8:1-2 English Standard Version (ESV)

Life in the Spirit

8 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.[a] 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you[b] free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

John 8:36 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

36 So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

I'm a hoarder.  I hoard all slights and hurts nearly daring God to take them away from me.  I want that freedom Christ offers, but I don't want to give up all the troubles that have become strangely dear to me.  That's not good!  I need to empty my hands to receive the grace God gives.  The stone has been rolled away, and I have no business trying to roll it back.  I like the song I uploaded today by Ellie Holcomb, "I Want to Be Free."
