Being a Christian used to sound awful. I looked at it through the legalism lens.

“Look at all the things I have to give up!” That was my sin still clinging onto me.

It wasn’t until I received that new heart (Eze 36:26) that I was able to even consider the things I might gain.

“You mean I get to be kind without worrying about looking cool?”

“You mean I’ll be able to pull away from addictions that never filled me?”

“You mean I get to be the man I was always called to be?”

“You mean I get to stay in a posture of love while the world hates everything in their day?”

“You mean I can have nothing (by comparison) but have everything in gratitude?”

God gives you a new heart, y’all. I didn’t think it was real, either. I used to think the joy a true Christian exhibited was a symptom of the brainwashed cult they were in.

I was the one brainwashed. I was taught lies that I started to believe.

“Make fun of people. If two laugh while one is hurt, that’s a good trade.”

That’s just one example, but I have hundreds.

The freedom found in Jesus isn’t a myth. #freedom #wakeup #faith #blind to #sight (2 Cor. 3:16)
