My soul has found a place of rest, finally after fifty years. I am having my Jubilee!
Jubilee is, I believe, a place or season in time God designs for the righting of wrongs. A time of deliverance and recompense, the Bible says. The celebration includes a year long rest, where all debts are cancelled. Debtors are free from their burdens. That means me too!
Even I am free from my burdens which seems right. “What is impossible for men is possible with God” Luke 18:27 says.
A season that releases us from past burdens reflects God’s nature and character. He should like us to live free by His Laws and the universal law of Love demonstrated in Christ. But, as human beings we fall short and our lives become filled with burdens. Therefore, we labor to overcome our limitations and be our best selves.
Like Adam and Eve, we part from God. To whatever degree we absent Him from our lives, we wind up scratching around this dirty world trying to find sustenance. But, God planned for us a whole garden!
Merciful God, knowing all our human effort is not sufficient to make us whole, gives us His nature freely, love we cannot possibly earn, freedom, and a whole new life.
Soul Peace!
