Your Leash is Gone

OK first off, Jesus did die for all sins... your sins and mine... past andfuture... God transcends time... in case I used to word wrong, He doesn'tneed time... you know like the measurements and stuff. We only have it because itmakes our lives less confusing.

I believe when God does somethingits impact supernaturally flows through all moments of time. God gathered allsin from past and future and even the sins of the people surrounded at Hiscross and became those sins. When He died, the sin was destroyed.

However, those sins, not the amount but the simple fact it was sin,separated Him from His Father. It was agonizing for Him. The Father andSon were together always... you know God always was and always will be?

Jesus was/is/will be with Him too. My point is this. Sin separates us fromGod. BUT (oh I love that word) because of that loving act of taking oursins and taking the punishment, the only thing that keeps us hanging on tosin is us! We were locked to sin in chains. But now the chains and locksare broken. Yet we don't realize it.

It's like my dog. we used to chain him tosomething when he went outside. So he was trained that if there's somethinghanging off your collar you can't go far. He's a smart dog and won't nearlychoke himself trying to go further than the chain will let him. I would takehim to the park on a leash and I could let go of the leash and he wouldn'trun away. But once I took the leash off... well he was gone.

Satan isn'tholding our leash anymore... God broke the link. However, we think we stillare and stay close to Satan and his lying. But once we realize Jesus iscalling our name we see the leash isn't attached to anything and we takeJesus' hand and He holds us close and gives us Truth through His Word. Butwe still try to stray and sin.

I asked God to never stop pulling untilsomeday He doesn't even have to. So when my flesh goes back to sin and I turnmy back on God, the leash pulls and it's painful. I believe this is the sourceof a lot of my emotional instability. I notice I am more depressed when Ihadn't been talking to God as much... and happiest when I talk to Him andpress in deeper.

This God so powerful to move mountains and create countlessstars has created us with choice... even if the choice breaks His heart.God is awesome! Nothing like Him... for He made everything!
