I read an interesting little story about flies in a glass jar. If you put flies into a glass jar, put holes in the lid and leave the jar shut for several days. The flies will fly around in circles trying to find a way of escape. After several days, take the lid off and see what happens. The flies continue to fly in circles, come close to the top but never escape the open jar. They stay in the jar, refusing to fly out of the top.
This is how we are. God has given us freedom, but we continue to bury ourselves in our rubble of old habits, sins. The freedom has been provided, yet we choose a small jar. Our thoughts continue to take us down the road of discouragement, un-forgiveness, bitterness, etc. You name it. Why not choose freedom?!
I trust you had a great day in Jesus.
God bless you.
