Jesus Sets Her Free

By the grace of God a young woman came for prayer. She has been waiting for another person to come and pray for her. He's not come yet. However, her soul seems to be in great turmoil. She observes religious rites and duties with the hope to find some peace in her heart. The voices, the anxiety, the painful memories of the past keep haunting her. She couldn't sleep at night. She was waiting for some medicine to calm her down so she could sleep.

After talking to her she realized her needs for the Savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He is the One who died in her place; he is the One who forgives her of all her sins and He is the Healer and the Deliverer. She understands for the first time that cutting her hands won't solve her pain; bury her pain deep down inside won't release the hurt; the offenders are out there somewhere; and the question of how can she forgive someone who hurt her deeply? How can her soul rest?

It's all in Jesus Christ. He has the answer.

She forgave her offenders. She found peace in Christ Jesus. She embraces love again. Truly, all healing comes from God. God has come to set her free. Whom the Son sets free, she is free indeed. She is free! Joy comes evidently shown on her face. Tears stopped rolling down. God is great to her. What a privilege to serve people with the powerful Gospel of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Praise be to God.
