What hit me is that my peace and my healing were paid for with a high, painful price...Jesus’ punishment. Am I wasting them, falling back into worry and stress because I forget about my healing Savior? What a waste of His sacrifice. I remember hearing that elephants that have been chained to a pole for years, going in circles, continue to go in circles even after their chains are cut off. That’s a powerful image. I need to stop behaving as if I’m still chained to sinful thoughts and behavior. I’m free! He has cut my chains. Lord, help me to rely on that truth moment by moment and not waste your beautiful gift. 🎁❤️🙏🏻
