WINDOW OF FREEDOM
by JOANNE LOWE
“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”
John 8: 36
King James Version
As I was looking out my window, this verse came to my mind. There are times when it feels like we are trapped behind locked doors of doubts, fears and suicidal thoughts. I’ve had people email me that they don’t think there is any reason to keep living. I used to feel the same way when I was going through all those years of doubts, crippling depression and suicidal thoughts. However, I found a reason to live and His name is Jesus!
There is nothing that we endure that Jesus didn’t face Himself. He was constantly criticized, ridiculed, mocked and rejected. The people who claimed to be His friends deserted Him when He needed them the most. Even today we claim to be His friends, yet we neglect to tell others of His Love. There are times when we are sarcastic and cruel to our family, loved ones and friends. How this must hurt Jesus!
Jesus offers us freedom from the locked doors in our hearts. He shed His own blood so that we may be set free once and for all from the bondage of sin and satan. When I gave my heart to Jesus, He set me free from the past sins and mistakes of my life. He took my old hardened and doubting heart and replaced it with a new heart, a heart filled with His Love.
If today you feel trapped behind locked doors in your heart, invite Jesus to be your personal Saviour. He will set you free and you will experience a peace, joy, happiness and freedom that you have never known. When Jesus sets us free, we are free indeed and nothing or nobody can imprison us again.
