Bound

It’s a little past 4 a.m., and I’m up writing in my head so I might as well put this down. I started out thinking about the power of soul ties in my life, but this time God opened my eyes to so much more. How many times have I returned to someone who was killing my soul? I knew the person was no good for me, yet I kept going back. The irony is every time a soul tie broke my heart or hurt my feelings, I would cry about it to God. So let me see…going to a place that hurts me and then wanting God to fix my broken heart upon my return. Wow! What a revelation. I can go back years and years to the people God clearly revealed were no good for me, yet I went in that direction anyway. So right after these reflections I compared it to my struggle with eating healthy. Healthy foods all around me yet I still will choose junk food. And not just junk food on occasion but on a regular basis. It scares me thinking about these destructive patterns I’ve been in and how I’ve been clinging to that which is destructive. Then it finally dawned on me. I have been bound for too long. Connected to the wrong things for so long that I’m too entangled to break free. Again…what a revelation. I realized in the wee hours that I write for a few reasons, but one of my main reasons is to help set US free. I see where I keep repeating patterns, and I know that some of you are doing the same thing. Let’s be honest about where we are, confront our destructive patterns, and trust God to set us free for good.
