“I’m so free I got no chains on me” Love this song from KB. I am free. I am free from chains that surround me constantly. But then there are days where I just feel so brought down.
Y’all know about my diagnosis of PTSD but what you may not realize is that along with those reminders of my traumas? I get those feelings of disgust.
“There’s no way God loves me after all this”
“I am a horrible human being”
Then I fight those feelings…slowly but surely.
How?
Reminding myself of truth.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
1 John 4:18
do I still have fear after that? Of course. I’m human. But after reminding myself more and more of God’s perfect love? I finally see.
There are truly no chains on me.
