You don’t have to make a point for others to understand. He
knows the truth. You don’t need to have the answer in all circumstances. You
can’t. Only He can. You don’t have to struggle any more against those feelings
of hurt and despair. He has already struggled and won. You don’t have to harbor
bitterness and rejection. He faced the greatest rejection and bitterness was
defeated. You don’t need to analyze again and again why you can’t forgive. You
know why. It has become your comfort. Your purpose. The reason you exist. You
are held captive.
Wake up, wake up, O Zion!
Clothe yourself with strength.
Put on your beautiful clothes, O holy city of Jerusalem,
for unclean and godless people will enter your gates no longer.
Rise from the dust, O Jerusalem.
Sit in a place of honor.
Remove the chains of slavery from your neck,
O captive daughter of Zion. —Isaiah 52:1-2 NLT
Clothe yourself with strength.
Put on your beautiful clothes, O holy city of Jerusalem,
for unclean and godless people will enter your gates no longer.
Rise from the dust, O Jerusalem.
Sit in a place of honor.
Remove the chains of slavery from your neck,
O captive daughter of Zion. —Isaiah 52:1-2 NLT
Oh, captive son and daughter! Remove the chains of slavery
from your neck! Rise from the dust, and clothe yourself in His love. Wake up! Forgive,
and be free!
