How many times do you have to break before you'll let go of the fear? How much longer do you intend to wrap the broken chains around you? They don't have to bind you. He's broken them. They are not your prison anymore. You've deceived yourself into thinking that it's comfortable in the bindings of fear. Don't you see the cuts and scars those bindings have inflicted on you? Don't you feel the bruises?
Fear is not comfortable. It's familiar. The darkness of your fear prison has become familiar, but it is not what God has for you. When you step into the sunshine and out of the darkness, the light's brilliance burns your eyes. You blink quickly and shade your eyes, but soon you adjust to the light. You let yourself believe that your new-found freedom is not worth the vulnerability of staring into the sunlight after a lifetime of darkness.
