Let Freedom Ring

Each one in life has experienced those things which have caused pain, some leaving scars. Each scar serves as a platform for a narrative that we may or may not choose to share with others. We can be chained to repeated recitations concerning the things which we claim have injured us in some way. Some of those recitations may tend to focus on past offenses that can be traced all the way back to childhood. 

We may claim freedom and yet consistently return to the scenes of our perceived victimization. We may believe it necessary to do so for the benefit of those to whom we feel an obligation to warn and to protect. That might certainly be so, but at times, revealed is the absence of healing within, bitterness, and unforgiveness.

The true witness is not found in the recitations of long held grievances but in the Joy of deliverance and wholeness in Christ today. It is more important that we invite others to focus, not on the sorrows of our upbringing, but, on the joys of our out bringing. The Lord is indeed our healer. Always emphasize the better part of your life story.

Psalm 40:3
He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord.
