Free
It's the start of a new week and I wasn't able to write last week because I didn't know how to put what was on my heart in words. I had all these great topics...but nothing to write for it. I finally found my inspiration and here's what I have for you all.
You remember as a kid...when you had no care in the world? You made messes, made friends, never cared what people thought about you, never held yourself to any other standards (except the ones you made for yourself), had easy homework, had all these cool toys and absolutely nothing to worry about? I sometimes wish I could go back in time and relive those days. I always felt invincible...like nothing could ever stand in my way. There's been moments where I get so caught up with life that I let all the worry, doubt, fear, disappointments consume me. Life is not easy, because if it was... everyone would be good at it and not struggle. There's good things that come out of our struggles and it helps us grow as an individual. I had a brief moment when I was in the car with my family and as I looked out the window enjoying the fresh breeze... I just had the thought of being FREE! A moment where I forgot about reality for a bit. I stopped worrying, I forgot about the stresses of life, I stopped holding myself to these standards that the world has placed. I wasn't afraid of anything. I didn't doubt myself. I LET IT ALL GO.
I think that's something we all need to do...set ourselves free from what the world, media, and life have placed on us. Stop letting the things of this world hold you down. God wants you to be set free from all bondages. He wants to set you free from all the worry, fear, doubt, insecurities, disappointments or anything else that may be holding you down. Let me just say that your life will never be the same once you have allowed yourself to be set free. It'll be like a weight finally lifted off of your shoulders. It all starts with you though...how badly do you want to set yourself free from what's holding you down? Use a bird for example. They don't worry about their next meal or where they are going to land or fear the fact that they might get eaten or injured. Birds fly FREELY, with no care in the world. We need to be like that and learn to just go with the flow of life.
So, set yourself free today from all the bondage that's holding you down. Allow yourself to feel invincible because the one who created you...will set you free from all things if you just LET IT GO!
