REMEMBER MY CHAINS!
The first time reading those words hit me right between my eyes.
Bound, restrained, constricted
to
something
at the expense of another's will's and way's.
One chain around my mind.
One chain around my mouth.
One chain around my heart.
One chain around my hands.
One chain around my feet.
A series of links connected
to lies, deception, hurt, abuse, shame, abandonment, rejection
locked and imprisoned to
"We baptize you in the name of the
Father, the son
and God's spirit-directed organization."
My mind
chained to all I ever knew.
My mouth
trained to speak memorized publication quotes.
My heart
aching for something more.
My hands
prepped with highlighter, pen and publication ready to give an answer.
My feet
walking tirelessly day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year.
REMEMBER MY CHAINS!
The next time around reading those words hit me right to the heart.
Bound
for
Someone
at the expense of Another's sacrifice for me.
One chain around my mind.
One chain around my mouth.
One chain around my heart.
One chain around my hands.
One chain around my feet.
My mind protected
by the helmet of salvation.
My mouth to speak
evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people.
My heart freely confessing
Jesus is Lord
and believing that Jesus was raised from the dead "physically", I would then be saved.
My hands willing
Here I am send me!
My feet fitted
with peace and ready to share the Gospel that was shared with me.
Then discovering
One chain around my soul!
With all the promises that contained
all the hidden treasures of wisdom and knowledge, the realities of heaven, an inheritance, opportunities to speak about God's mysterious plan concerning Christ.
A series of links connected to the lock of;
"You are sealed by Him for the day of redemption."
