No Chains

Do not let the enemy convince you that you are trash.  Do not let him snip away at your identity until you doubt that you should even be here.  God has made you perfectly…PERFECTLY…for work that He has designed.  He needs you to be you, in the free form that He imagined and shaped and set in time and space alongside others who will be your companions here, doing the part that only you can do to reveal Him.  You are a beautiful and strong part of what He arranged. 

He guides us with wisdom so to avoid the lies that would kill our hopes, steal our dreams, and destroy our sense of value.  We are so desired that God sent His Son to break the power of the evil that had entrapped human beings for all but the first few chapters of their existence.  ALL the strings of the curse have been cut.  ALL the chains of death have been defeated.  The power that once held us has been relegated to a lower place, one that has no authority anymore.  He fights against anything that would take us from our true purpose.  He hates the lies that have bound us and invites us continually into the freedom that we already possess.   He has ALWAYS fought FOR you.

If you need to remind yourself, read again Matthew 28 today and ask Him to help you take hold of its truth.
