Your Faith, have set you free.

Here is an original poem based on that powerful theme, woven with relevant scriptures.


---


Your Faith Has Set You Free


The cage was of your own design, With bars of fear and lock of shame, A prisoner to the dark,confined, Whispering a guilty,broken name.


But then a spark, a fragile thing, A mustard seed upon your palm, A choice to trust the unseen King, A whisper in a fearful calm.


You reached through doubt, though weak and small, And touched the edge of His great robe; You chose to trust Him through it all, And laid your heavy,broken load.


“Your faith has done this,” spoke the Lord, The words that shattered every chain. The lock gave way without a sword, Releasing you from all your pain.


No longer bound by yesterday, By laws you never could fulfill, You walk the narrow,grace-filled way, By His great strength,and not your will.


The door stands open, wide and clear, Not by your works,but by your trust, In Him who banished every fear, Who raises dust to life from dust.


So walk now in your liberty, This freedom fought for,won, and given, For it was faith that set you free, To live a life by Heaven-driven.

Accompanying Scriptures:


The poem draws from several key verses that illustrate the profound link between faith and freedom:


· Luke 7:50 (NLT) (The direct inspiration)

  Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.””*

· Luke 8:48 (NLT)

  “Daughter,” he said to her, “your faith has made you well. Go in peace.””*

· Matthew 17:20 (NIV)

  He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

· John 8:36 (NIV) (The ultimate promise of freedom)

  “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”

· Galatians 5:1 (NIV)

  “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”

· 2 Corinthians 3:17 (NIV)

  “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”


May this poem and these scriptures remind you of the powerful, chain-breaking freedom found in placing your faith in God.
