I sat down and began to write:



Dear friend,


When your heart is torn and broken from this life, from the sin that so easily corrupted your purity, shattered your dreams and stole your hope.


From Satan, who came to you like a thief in the night and proclaimed worthlessness over you, taking all that you let him; after all, you were unaware of it.


When he crept into your heart, he chained and bound you up to live in slave to sin. And your fete as he thought was set; doomed for eternity of pain and agony with him.


I tell you the truth, what friend would I be if I had the knowledge that could unlock your chains and set you free from the sin that binds you up, and not tell you?


What friend would I be if I knew the one who has stolen the key to those chains, yet didn’t ask them to set you free as well?


The truth is, I wouldn’t be a friend at all.


So, do you want to know the real truth?


I will tell you, I need to tell you because the one with the keys has given me the special task of telling it to you so you can choose to be set free as well.


The thing is, this man was just like you, he became bound with sin. But not any kind of sin for he himself walked sinless, but every sin that was ever and will ever be done on this earth was laid upon him. He carried it to his death for this reason; to steal the keys and set you free forever.


And it doesn’t end there. He gives new life to the ones he sets free, making them pure and holy.


But the most bestest thing that I have saved til last that I need to tell you is this; you are made worthy to have relationship with the one who created you. Yes, not because of what you’ve done, but what he did.


This man with the keys is Jesus.


Whose last breath on the cross that he died on, bearing all the sin and weight of the world on his shoulders was “IT IS FINISHED”.


So when your heart is broken and torn, left to be trampled on by Satan, Jesus says


IT IS FINISHED.


When you finally realise that this world has nothing to offer and leaves you unsatisfied and empty, Jesus says


IT IS FINISHED.


So friend, I tell you the truth, what friend would I be if I didn’t tell you the reason why I am set free? The reason why I now have a different future; eternity with our creator and King?


The reason, the answer and the truth is Jesus. He has your keys to salvation, to freedom.


He loves you


Open your heart and let Him in, because once he unlocks your chains, you are free forever, and he will never leave you, nor forsake you.


Love always, your friend.


- “I therefore... urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness...” Ephesians 4:1-2


As much as I’m speaking to myself, can we as Christians stand firm in God and the truth. Can we not hide our light, but share the good news that has set us free?


God I pray that we would not grow weary of our calling. That we would be ignited with your fire to see your own children that are living in death set free by your power.


And above all, I praise you, for it is finished.


You have won the battle Jesus.


Thankyou.
