Today is a new day and when I say new, it has new meaning. It is cumbersome to try and put words to this morning, but I’m going to attempt to do so. Yesterday, I talked with a Celebrate Recovery friend I sponsor who is in South Africa at a seminary/school. We talked for about 30 minutes. God is revealing Himself to him in magnificent ways and showing him His purpose for life. He is a young man still in his 20’s. This morning I felt Christ asking me if I am now ready to accept the freedom He has given me along with the freedom to be used fully by the Holy Spirit? My answer was yes and He told me to look up and keep looking up until He was done. In doing so He asked me what I saw. All I could see was the morning light coming up. He told me this light is representative of His Light He wants me to share with others who are caught in the chains of abuse. These individuals have two sets of chains. One of these sets of chains is binding them from the years of abuse done to them, the other set is the ones from their own sins. How well I know both sets. I couldn’t get to the chains of my sins until I finally got to the the chains which ran deeper within me. They were the ones binding my identity, my self-worth, etc. As these chains have been disappearing in my life, I’ve been able to see more clearly and hear more accurately the voice of Heaven–The Holy Spirit.
Now maybe all this sounds strange to a non-believer in Jesus, and even to a believer, yet all of this is true of today. All I know is I want to serve Jesus however He is calling me to do so. Wherever He takes me on this journey, I want to be a vessel displaying His Light that penetrates all darkness and displays the truth of binding chains so they can be broken once and for all! To God be all Glory.
