trinket and bauble

i am called to be free.

anything that

binds

chains

enslaves

isnt worth it anymore.

freedom is the love of Christ poured out: over, in, and around me.

freedom is trusting that love that is stronger than death.

freedom is returning to that love when the yoke of slavery doesn't seem so bad.

(after all, it's just some baggage. you weren't doing that bad before.)

i am called to be free. and it's scary.

there is a Treasure that surpasses every trinket and bauble we cling too.

a beautiful, never-gonna-leave-you, sort of treasure.

an everlasting Treasure that neither rusts nor decays.

and it is that Treasure, that is worth the surrender of my riches and relationships.
