my chains are gone?

i often think about what gets in the way of my relationship and commitment to christ. and what is it? school, friends, family, pets....blah blah blah. are these things really commited to us? will they be trustworth at the lowest of lows? no way. are they ALWAYS there for us, never turning a cold shoulder, or never too busy for us? i dont think so! He's the only one, theres no replacing good ol' Jesus. after talking to a friend the other day, she was talking about not having a relationship with him because he wont love her for who she is and what shes done. HE LOVES US ANYWAY! Our chains are gone, we are free. free from regret, pain, hurt, SIN. Jesus died on that cross so that those things loose meaning, those things don't need to interfere. we are free. thats how awesome his love is.
