Jesus opened the prison doors and let you out, but a lot of times we just don't feel the love as a result of that, so we contain ourselves where we are the strongest, and that is usually back where we are the most vulnerable.
Questionable behavior sprouts out of what we plant. If we are given grape seeds and throw them away in favor of planting thistles, then this is a replica of our life. The grape seeds are anything to do with the Word of God and the thistles are anything to do with the world.
Matthew 7:16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?
Thistles may have beautiful flowers but you have to approach them carefully, whereas grape vines are very approachable and the fruit is very nourishing. When we lock ourselves back up in our selfish thinking then we are telling Jesus that what He did for us just doesn't matter. So we lose out out on a magnificent gift.
