Twice burned
“I am not going there again, I have been burned twice and that is enough for me.” Many have boarded up their hearts for the season in anticipation of another storm. We are to guard our heart against getting hard and cold. God protects our heart from getting hurt. However, many have put up walls of protection and have separated themselves from God, others and even themselves (disassociation). Jesus work on the cross broke the barriers between God and us; and, He came to restore what the enemy has stolen.
“…you have shattered the yoke that burdens them, the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor.” Isaiah 9:4
