What’s Got you Tied Up?

Jesus promises us a life in Him that opens the door for eternal security and fulfillment in Him in this current life. In Christ, we have satisfaction and completion, as He promised that He is our Bread of Life in a detailed passage in John 6:35-58.

Our life may be difficult or have seasons that are more pressing, or there may feel like needs, expectations and desires may not align with what is presenting. But, even still, He promises that a heart filled by Him can still manifest the fruits of the Spirit because our completion is in Him.

Idols not only cloud our vision, but they tie up the heart to temporary pleasures here on earth. Our anchor in Christ cannot be substituted by relationships, possessions, status, health, wealth, etc. God is our all! If God is our Source, we are more free to let go, if called or forced to, of something.

So, is there any area in your life that is tying up your heart affections? Does God possibly need to use whatever is in your grip, but that He cannot access because you rely on that more than Him?
