If there's one thing you don't ever forget in this life, let it be the truth that Jesus is the one who sets us free--not religion, not church itself, not even your work inside the church. It was through the love of God that Jesus hung on the cross to bear all of our iniquities, that we might be set free. Jesus said, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, and the truth shall make you free. Nothing else in this world holds that kind of power.
If you're bound--unable to experience real freedom in your soul, freedom in your emotions, if you need freedom from the obvious--drugs, alcohol, relationships, etc., or from the not so obvious--fear, depression, self-hatred, ask Jesus to show you His bond-breaking love. He can show you true freedom.
None of us is really worthy of what God offers, but He gives to us anyhow. His love runs that deep. He shed His blood knowing that we would despise Him at some point, knowing that we are weak and without His strength we cannot stand. He knows everything already, the deepest part of our hearts--good, bad or indifferent--and He's calling you anyway. He knows the true value of your soul and loves you as His precious creation.
If you have been bound and set free through the love of Jesus, you have every reason to shout Hallelujah, raise up holy hands, and sing His praises!
