There was once a boy who decided to experiment with his father’s handcuffs, without permission of course. He very tightly, put both cuffs on the same wrist, locking them with the keyhole impossible to reach with the key. Those cuffs were locked up tight and unless somebody did something he’d be wearing them into eternity. The rest of the story is somewhat foggy, but they had to be cut off….carefully.

Sin, has a way of latching itself to you very tightly. Unless you cut it off, you’ll be chained to it for life.

Do you want to drag your guilt, shame and anger the results from your past sins around with you daily, chained to them? Do you want to purposely go on sinning?

Like the boy, we could wear those cuffs (our sin) and cover them with a shirt from the eyes of the world.  A long sleeve shirt in the summer would get unbearable. Or let the world see, and turn those cuffs (our sin) into a cool new fad. Eventually, they would become discontinued and no longer popular as fads come and go. You would still be stuck, chained, locked up and unable to move freely into the future.

Do you want to be free?!

Join me today……Quick somebody get the chainsaw!

“Father, show me my sin’s. I confess them now, no longer desiring to be chained to them or my past, please take them. Thank you for carrying them and the weight they have caused, allowing me to move freely into the future. Keep me steady, as I live in your will. In Jesus name amen.”
