As I was laying in bed last night and thanking God for the freedoms we have in America, He began reminding me of all the areas in my life where He had brought freedom-places of unforgiveness, bitterness, trauma and pain, control, addictions, rejection, etc. As I went through each area, my heart was overwhelmed with gratefulness to my God who loved me so much that He stayed in that place until it was healed or I was free. Some of those places were much harder than others to walk through, but here is the deal-- I had to be willing to go there! It is not fun, but the anticipation of the freedom will give you the courage to say, "yes Lord lets do it!" I had to uncover that place and allow Him to do that work. Can I say it is worth it!!! John 8:36 says "If the Son makes you free, ye shall be free indeed." That is TRUE freedom!
You walk into freedom by choice! Have the courage to go to those hard places. You won't regret it. Jesus loves a humble heart-He can work with that!
"Be strong and courageous, be not afraid, nor be dismayed for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go!" Joshua 1:9
