Learn to Leave it at the Cross

Five Minute Friday is so much fun for me. No pressure! Simply a word prompt on twitter (#fmfparty) on Thursday night and then write. No overthinking or editing. There is a linkup on Friday at http://katemotaung.com where we can read other's five minute free write. This week's prompt is: LEARN

GO...

I am one of the redeemed! Set apart with a brand new heart. I am free indeed.

This might sound a little audacious but it took me a long time to learn my true identity and I hold onto it for dear life now.

The choices other people made that affected me as well as my own choices that caused pain held me for way too long.

I LOVE the song “Dear Younger Me” by Mercy Me as it sums up how so many of us feel so well.

There are so many bumps along the road of life. If we could learn to let go of the painful memories we can find true freedom. They don’t define us!

God sees our heart not our past. He is calling us to leave it at the cross.

Therefore, now no condemnation awaits those who are living in Jesus the Anointed, the Liberating King, because when you live in the Anointed One, Jesus, a new law takes effect. The law of the Spirit of life breathes into you and liberates you from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:1-2 (VOICE)

How great is this! The power of the life giving Spirit has breathed into us and liberated us. We can truly learn to leave it at the cross. Lay it down friend! Don’t look back.

Stop

If you’re struggling with a painful past or chains that you feel still have a hold of you please know that God is FOR YOU. He doesn’t want you to live in bondage. I would be honored to pray with you for deliverance and freedom. Please feel free to leave a comment (can say “unspoken” if you’d prefer) or send me a private message and I will join with you in prayer.
