Lessons From The Light Point Ch. 2: Not Quite Free

“Although I was delivered, I wasn’t quite free because I still never told anyone any of this and I had no idea how to process the mental and emotional toll that the experience had on me. I shoved it deep down into the box labeled “strange things that happened when I was young” and forgot about it. By the grace of God I chopped down that tree but in my haste to move past it, I forgot about the roots of shame, lust, perversion, and impurity that had grown deep down into the soul of my heart and mind. By refusing to think about it, pleasure and sexuality were wholly relegated to the realm of sinful, leaving no room for the understanding of how God-given desires are good when used in the context that He divinely ordained. So, even though I was delivered from one addiction, I couldn’t be free from the sin that came later as a result of me suppressing feelings that were meant to be surrendered instead.”
