We cannot control the actions of others and the outcomes of their decisions can have a devastating impact on our lives. Every single one of us knows what it is like to live in bondage, shackled to our captors, filled with hopelessness and despair. Our ‘captors’ can be fear, pride, bitterness, abandonment, or worthlessness. They can be lies about God, ourselves, and others. The glorious reality of knowing Jesus is that now, by his strong and powerful name, those chains can be broken. You don’t have to live with the lies. What’s the point? Justice will come to your jailors. But you will not be the one who delivers justice. That’s God’s job. Don’t hold onto bitterness. Don’t hold onto anger. Don’t hold onto any chain or shackle that would bind you. Your job is to pray. Your job is to trust. Your job is to walk free and tell your story.
