True Freedom

There I was, like a worker bee. Like an inmate, longing to be free. There I was, filled with dedication and zeal, convinced that my belief was the real deal. There I was, working hard for something I already had; paying for something that was paid for me in full, both free and clear. The work was not a chore nor laborious to me. I loved it because of the end result of my workings. In a sense, I was giving all of my life for eternal life. It took me 5 years to realize the greatest truth ever known. In spite of my willingness and loving zeal toward my God, and the joy it brought to me, the fact remained that I was in bondage. But the light of Christ came on and has been burning in me until now. 062722PS
