freedom

in my july 4th blog, i wrote about things i was thankful for. freedom was one of the things i listed. i was thinking about that today. as americans we have amazing freedom but as christians we have even more amazing freedom. freedom from sin, depression, anger, addictions, anything that can bind us and keep us from being who God has called us to be. all we have to do is hold on to this freedom.

but to hold on to the freedom, we may have to let go of other things - things that keep us from that freedom. i know i am holding on to things that keep me from all that God has for me - fear, pride, insecurities, sin. i realized that i can't have that freedom cause my hands are full of all this other stuff. so i am going to have let go of all these unuseful, awful things so i can have the incredible gift of freedom that God has for me.
