Reflections 10/6/2020: I snagged this off a friend’s FB page because I couldn’t get it out of my mind. Such a powerful picture of freedom! A freedom hard fought for, breaking loose from the chains of bondage! As I thought about that freedom, it occurred to me that this picture is a sort of a projective test. One that allows the observer to “project” into it their own experience of being freed from something… The wages of sin. Separation from God. The clutches of unforgiveness. Addictions. Self-hatred. Shame. Guilt. Destructive relationships. Cancer. Fill in the blank! And for me that blank-filler changes from day to day. But the common denominator is the exuberant sense of thankfulness that erupts in this dramatic chain break! Harsh metal molded into wings of release! How I love that freedom of flight! How it melds my heart with Yours, Jesus, my ultimate Chain-Breaker!
