I’m in union with the risen Christ Jesus. That means I’m in union with all that He is. I’m not just in union with His ability to not sin. I’m in union with His desire to not want to sin. This is such good news to me!!!! I don’t have to be in bondage to my emotions! I don’t have to live as an emotional basket case full of fear, anxiety, anger, frustration, lust, competition, rejection, self- rejection, or any other fallen diseased emotion. God didn’t just make it to where I can choose to not give into any of this, He also made a way for my emotions to be renewed and freed from the feelings of this sickness.
He tells all who are weary and heavy laden to come to Him. Don’t we see. This is the heavy burden, which are the effects of all emotional brokenness that affect our actions and responses in life. Jesus said, “Take my yoke upon you, and ye shall have rest for your souls.” It’s His desire for all of our emotions to come into the experience of abundant life and fullness of joy!! In that place you find rest. That place is His presence!! He Said, “Come to me.” Come to His presence. The reason the enemy works so hard to keep us in bondage to guilt, shame, and feeling unworthy is to keep us from Him!!
