Heavy Chains
I had heavy chains that held me bound - I believed there was no way out of my mess.
The devil had messed with my mind to the point I nearly forgot who I am and whose I am.
I was losing the battle to my own thoughts the devil had got me to believe about myself.
My view was so clouded by all the lies - by my bondage, by my heavy chains keeping me down.
No matter how much I fought I was losing myself day by day.
When I couldn't keep on any longer, Christ broke through and picked me up.
He broke these heavy chains and took my bondage that once held me down.
He pursued me when I thought I wasn't worthy enough or didn't have anything worthy enough to think I should be pursued.
He died on the cross for me so that I may have life; that I may walk in freedom knowing that my past no longer has a foot hold on my life.
The bondage that I once had is now gone because of Jesus; the heavy chains that once held me down are broken because of what Jesus did and what he went through to save me from the wrath of God.
I am a living testimony of what God has done in my life; how God has changed my life for the better.
If God can transform my life; I know without a doubt that He can and will transform your life as well!!
Philippians 1:6~"And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ."
