In the poem Dante’s Inferno, a case is made that hell is locked from the inside. As he struggles with the sin of lust and pride, he looks to find a way out but understands he is keeping himself there. This is true for most of our lives. We struggle with so many things that we really don’t need to struggle with at all. We know we should give them up, but what if we changed the “we should” thought to “I could, if I wanted to.” Your freedom awaits. Christ has made a way for it to be so. The steps are up to you.
