Good day Heartstrings family

Today my calendar showed it to be Juneteenth. I had to look up what that meant. I had never heard of it before. So, I did. Now I understand the meaning behind this holiday in America.

It made me think of the many people who attend church services and yet have no idea if they are free, truly free, in Christ. His work on the cross and rising from the dead was done as a love gift from the Father of Love. He did this for us!

So, those of you who go to church because it feels like a safe enough place to socialize or just love the traditions, may not be truly free. Not until there is a meeting with Jesus. An acceptance of His free gift. Repenting of your sins by laying them down at the foot of the cross. Telling the Lord that you believe He Is the Son of God. Then, you can truly be free.

Galatians 5:1 says that when we are born again..."In [this] freedom Christ has made us free [and completely liberated us]; stand fast then, and do no be hampered and held ensnared and submit again to a yoke of slavery [which you have once put off],"

The connection for me is that now that I believe, am saved for eternity and sealed with the Holy Spirit I am truly free. Many of the black people did not know they were free when that happened and went on as though slaves still. We all have to become aware of the Truth don't we? When we know, then we can live free! 

Jesus justified us and declared us righteous through that work on the cross. But, He could have only died and He be counted as a good man. Instead, He conquered death! Think of this! 

When we continue to live as though we are slaves to sin we cannot bear good fruit, or attain the abundance of God on our lives. Live truly free!

I am praying for you. When I don't know how to pray I know the Holy Spirit is doing that perfectly. The Lord bless you and keep you safe and well and truly free, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ our Lord and soon coming King! amen.

Abundance is...to be truly free
