"What Are Your Chains?"


We have things

That keep us from doing God's will


Some, like me, the chains

Are fear and worries.

I fear that I will look like a fool

And I worry to much about tomorrow

Not willing to let God have full control of tomorrow


Others, their chains are themselves

They worry about their "rep"

Their image

So instead of seeing God as Almighty

They see themselves


Others see the blood that's on their hands

And let it stop them.

They believe they are not good enough

To receive God's Eternal Love

Even though they already have it


Many let idols blind them

From what is true.

Video Games, school work, friends

All these things will never last

But they reach for them anyways

Instead of reaching for the Living Water

Of Christ.


Only Jesus has the key

To unlock those chains we all wear.

He hands it to us

So why aren't we taking it-

His gift of freedom within our grasp.


Think for a second, and you don't have to tell me, but what are the chains you have (or once had) that keeps you from Christ?

Hopefully this will help you clear your sight and see you next week for next week's poem! :)
