Some Things Don't Die Very Graciously

The promise of God is freedom in Jesus Christ. However, sometimes we get discouraged when it does not happen instantly. I battled with fear for nine years and was delivered in one minute. But I cannot say that everything else in my life went as fast as fear did. Some of the other things took a long time. There needs to be an embracing of God’s Word, a longing in the heart that says, this is what my life should be. An embracing of the promises that even though you have not arrived where you ought to be, Paul the Apostle said, I am leaving behind those things that need to be left behind, and I am going to press forward to the high calling of God. You know, some things do not die very graciously, but the truth of the gospel is that in time, they do lose their hold and they do pass away. Embrace the Word of God and continue to press forward. It’s time to pray
