Lord, you keep sending this verse to me:

For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. [gal. 5:1]

i've been struggling with a certain sin for 6 years now. When You died on the cross, you came out victorious. In exchange for my sins, you gave me freedom. Freedom. What does that look like in my life? You tell me it's time to surrender; Lord, yes. i don't want to deal with it on my own anymore.

My heart is heavy because the people around me carry hidden sins and are yoked to slavery - whether they know it or not. Brothers and sisters, i tell you, Christ has set us free.
