Breaking Out was Just the Beginning

Last night on the streets, one of our teammates met a middle-aged man. He is a believer, but he told the man from our team that he had been living a homosexual lifestyle for some years now. But last night, he came clean and said that he wanted to come out of that lifestyle. He also made it very clear that he is a believer and could never believe that he could go that deep into sin.
So, as I heard the new slogan for this next season of the television show, Prison Break, I couldn't help of thinking of this man, Jean. What is he going to do is just the beginning of a very harsh road ahead of him. But, this is the beginning!!!! Praise the Lord that he stopped last night, listened to the gospel and came clean with another believer of his life that he has been living. Please be in prayer for Jean, as this journey ahead of him will be one of many challenges. May he fix his eyes upon Jesus.
But not only does this slogan pertain to this man and coming out of his lifestyle, but it also pertains to the redemption that we have received and been given by the grace of God through Jesus Christ. Being free of our chains and bondage to sin was just the beginning. Now, there is a long, arduous journey that we are on, that is the most satisfying journey that there is. Regardless of the hardships, it is well with my soul, because of the promises that God has given to us.
Today, thank the Lord that your chains have been broken and that Christ is calling you to Himself, wherever you are, no matter what you have been in lately. I love saying to begin again! That is what we are called to do - Begin Again. Remember your chains are gone. Don't try to tie yourself up again!
If the Son has set you free - you are free indeed!

Breaking Out was Just the Beginning!

Journeying in His will.
