2Corinthians 3:17 "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. 18And we who have unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom!! I think of the sins that so easily ensnare me. When I am actively choosing sin I can feel that I separate myself from God. The sin, (lust, gossip, greed, gluttony, pride, worry…..) becomes my focus and I take my eyes off of God. When Adam and Eve sinned against God in the garden, they tried to hide. That’s what I try to do too. I try to pretend that God will accept the sin that is convicting me, even though every time I choose it, I feel pain in my heart. We all have sins that are enslaving us and separating us from being fully transparent with God. These sins make us feel ashamed, and we can feel unloveable, even by God. Jesus died for us, while we were yet sinners!!! His love for us frees us from the guilt and shame of our sins and transforms us into His likeness. This transformation is a lifetime process. Our souls our sanctified immediately when we put our Trust in Jesus. Our flesh is our battle while we live on earth. Today, no matter what sin is that is ensnaring you, confess it to God, repent and let Him Set you FREE!! Sometimes sins have strong holds, I spent 29 years trying to give up the sin of drunkenness. Jesus set me free!! He will set you free!! (Every time you are looking to your sin for comfort, call on Jesus to help you. See James 4:7-8)
