Emotional Prison

 

We can be caught in an emotional prison built by words that wounded us. Every word, whether spoken, or rehearsed in our mind over and over again will keep us bound in a prison of our own making. We hold the key to freedom. Our freedom comes when we forgive the person who spoke the word and then ask Jesus to heal the hurt the words inflicted. The next time the words come flying in our direction, we need to make a conscious decision to let them roll off so they don’t form a root of bitterness.
