We can choose to stay with them, and drag them around with us, like the ghost of Jacob Marley in ‘A Christmas Carol’. Or we can allow God the Chain-breaker to do what God the Chain-breaker does, and live in the freedom he has won for us. We can remain enclosed in our tight little, slight little vision of life. Stay safe and sound in our risk-free, small-minded, nothing-ventured-nothing-gained shackles of ordinariness. Take up residence in a cell of lukewarm faith, half-hearted commitment, low-energy discipleship. Refuse to invite God the Chain-breaker to set us free, fearing that if we turn over our hearts to him he may expand them, fill them with dreams, and stuff them with love.
