WE HAVE BEEN SET FREE

“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”

John 8:36 KJV

Pastor Haldor Lillenas wrote one of my favorite hymns “Glorious Freedom”.  I love these words.  “Once I was bound by sin’s galling fetters; Chained like a slave, I struggled in vain. But I received a glorious freedom, When Jesus broke my fetters in twain.”  Thank God for the redeeming blood of Jesus!

Every time I remember how Jesus came to me when I was lying under a bed in a mental hospital afraid of everyone and hating everybody with no desire to live and lifted me up from under that bed, my heart overflows with love for my precious Saviour.  I have a lot of good friends but my best Friend is Jesus.

One of my pastors said in a sermon “If you want to fly higher than a kite, start bragging on Jesus”.  I have had the privilege of serving Jesus full time since January 24, 2005 and since that date I really have been flying higher than a kite.  Of course, satan does his best to discourage me but he will never win.

Heavenly Father, You are a compassionate loving Father.  Thank You for allowing me to serve Your Son.  Precious Jesus, how I love You!  One day I will see You face to face.  I’m going to give You the biggest hug You have ever had.  How I long for that day.  Thank You for dying for me.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
