My Emancipation Proclamation

I am freed from sin. Dead to what once bound me and alive to my gracious Lord. For once was I a slave to iniquity, but now I am a slave to righteousness. Bound to follow wher’er His will dictates my path. The perfect Lamb was slain in my place and has atoned for my shortcomings with his own blood poured out on the tree. Severing my bonds, He has rescued me from my shackles. I turn from that which I despise to that which I long for. Gladly my heart will beat only to serve till the last pulse thrums. Oh, to be a beggar in heaven. Yes that would satisfy my soul but the adoption complete; He has made me an heir to His kingdom.
