locks.

The oppression is from the consequences of someone's wounded disposition that found its crack in yours. That woundedness has locked into your own disposition and you have carried that for a long time now. You were not created to carry those burdens. Be free from the chains that have found themselves around your ankles and wrists. But even still, those words 'be free' still leave you with a pain in your chest. It numbs you....

You think that you are not qualified for being free...that you are meant to stay in this place...but you are not meant to remain here...

grace...

...has set you free from all bondage. All slavery. 

You have sin in your nature. And sin was done to you.

However, if you believe and have faith - you are free by the grace that has saved you through Jesus who died on that cross!

Take a little step. Then another. You can trust him. He is trustworthy. 

"Look! The winter is past. The rains are over and gone. Flowers are appearing on the earth. The season for singing has come." Song of Solomon 2:11-12

That pain in your chest will begin to shift to hope as his spirit shows you the locks that have held you for so long.
