A verse that I connected with this poem is Romans 6:5-7; having been freed in Christ, we should pursue the new path He opened to us instead of retracing the old one.<\/p>\n
\u201cFreedom from the Addiction of Sin\u201d (#52)<\/p>\n
Oh Lord, how do we often miss the fact that we are free
\nFrom the sin we were addicted to; that, when commanded in Your name, must flee?
\nHow many believers have turned away from You, and gone back to their old lust
\nFor their fleshly desires, not realizing that from You they have removed their trust?
\nWhile under the rule of sin, our only nature was evil, and we could only do evil, day and night.
\nBut now, having accepted Your sacrifice on the cross and surrendered, we are now free to do what is right.
\nThrough Your strength, we need no longer bow to the idols of the world as we once did.
\nYou are our God, and we should shy away from any evil thing that You forbid.
\nWe pray that You would use us, O Lord, for Your awesome and mighty glory.
\nThat, in the end, the shining path of faith that we walked would be, in Heaven, evident in every life story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
