FREEDOM

So much holds us back from true freedom. Material wealth, fear of failure, fear of man, and the list goes on. We cling too tightly, trying to hold onto things of no real worth or significance as if they were the great pearls in this life.
I want to laugh and weep at the same time over this clever ruse to keep us living in blind poverty. Richness is ours for the taking. No, not material gain. What would that add to our lives? No, the richness to be had is LIFE. FREEDOM. LOVE. PEACE. JOY.
These are treasures beyond compare, and not everyone can say they have them, although they are there for the taking.
Life cannot truly be life without freedom. One may think they are living, but without the unadulterated rush of pure freedom they are living in a cage of their own making. No one forces you to live in the cage. The key is yours, the door open if you so choose. But too often we fear the unknown, choosing to close the door on our gilded prison rather than risk it all and face the vast unknown called freedom.
LET GO. Stop holding onto the things you think are important. A job, a car, status, appearance, the latest technology. What is all this? Merely the decorations in your cage.
GIVE IT UP. All of it. Dare to risk, to dream, to believe the impossible can happen. Dare to live. Really live. All your possessions are nothing. They cannot bring you happiness. True joy is found in freedom.
Christ has set us free. We have the choice to step out of our prisons of doubt and fear, away from a meaningless, pitiful existence, into our true callings. We were made for so much more, what are we waiting for?
Take it! It's yours! LIVE IT!

Breathe it in. FREEDOM.
