“Slave to Love”

Too often our situation has ended, yet a smell, a building, a situation will drive up the memory holding us captive to both beautiful and bounding situations. In Christ, we are free. “You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.” (Romans 6:18) Yet, with all of the knowledge that we posses, our freedom seems to be a distant memory.


 Leaving scripture in type-print on pages is detrimental to our survival. We must remove the letters from the book and imprint them in our hearts. We are free. We are free from satan’s shackles. We are free to move forward in the Love of Christ.


 “A Slave to Love” says that we are free and yet we don’t even know it. Slaves in our thoughts. Slaves in our minds. Slaves to love…… Yet, the master is not Jesus. Therefore, we die.

 
Slave to Love

They were set free

And didn’t know it

The chains were removed

And they didn’t show it

They stayed there

For lack of understanding

They never left

Didn’t know what life was handing

 They were free

Without a place to go

No home, no shelter

And nothing to show

The door was left open

All they had to do was leave

But they wanted to stay

They even grieved

 Why couldn’t they leave

What made them stay

Were they too rapped up

Thought they were running away

Like a sun refusing to shine

And darkened by the light of day

Run, leave this place behind

They couldn’t, so they remained

 Bound like a slave by captivity

And mystery holding the key

Like a slave, love is binding

Without a defined destiny

Needing and wanting to stay

Wanting and needing to leave

Hating the past influences future’s way

Drifting between the two like a stream
