shackles of my own making

"The Christian life begins when we are released from the prisons of our own making. The love of the cross unlocks the prison doors of memory. The past is forgiven and the future is open to new possibilities... The past can be neither a source of confidence nor a condemnation. God graciously divided our life into days and years so that we could let go of the yesterdays and anticipate our tomorrows... We are liberated to accept and love ourselves as loved by the Lord. This unshackles our relationships."
-Lloyd Ogilvie, "God's Transforming Love"

"So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" -John 8:36
