Who would've thought that being a slave could lead to true emancipation? God's Word says that we are no longer slaves of the world but slaves to Christ and somehow by becoming slaves to Christ we gain complete freedom.
And so Lord, I present my life to you - handcuffed- for I am Your slave 'til my last breath.
