Are you still walking around afraid that you aren’t enough? Or are you carrying around that old guilt and shame you’ve asked God to forgive a hundred times? Are you still chained to the past by chains that God has already unlocked? All you have to do is take them off and walk in freedom through faith in Jesus. Sometimes we hang on to the past because it is all we’ve known--the bitterness, the self-loathing, the condemnation. The bitterness is so a part of us we are afraid to imagine life without it. The condemnation is so ingrained in us we are afraid to step out in faith and risk claiming what God has done for us. Sometimes a familiar captivity feels more comfortable than an unfamiliar freedom.
