Once free


After Galatians 5:1-15
 

Once free, once

unchained to discover

what life is intended

to be, why return

to the yoke of slavery?

Why return the chains

to your ankles and wrists?

Why embrace the overseer’s

lash?

 

To return to what

you’ve been freed from,

to fall down and again

worship what put you

in chains, severs you

from freedom and

its grace. It is not 

a chain that saved you.

After grace has saved us, why would we willingly allow ourselves to be put back in chains?
Beautiful, Glynn!
