...all about freedom

It all comes down to the continual building of a relationship with God.

"Because you don't believe. You don't know that we love you. The person who lives by their fears will not find freedom in my love. I am not talking about rational fears regarding legitimate dangers, but imagined fears, and especially the projection of those fears into the future. The the degree that those fears have a place in your life, you neither believe I am good nor know how deep in your heart that I love you. You sing about it; you talk about it but you don't know it."

"I'm not interested in prisoner. Only I can set you free, Mackenzie, but freedom can never be forced. ... you don't even comprehend that freedom is an incremental process" The Shack.

All of us live in self imposed prisons. And almost always imprisoned because of our fears. The question I ask is what is so much more important, what keeps us in the prison, the fear that Christ can't release us?

I read recently that the one with the most power is those who have nothing to lose. God will always call us to let go of the things, the relationships that mean more to us than He does. I know of people who have lost everything; home, family, jobs, financial ruin, that turn around and say its the best thing that has ever happened to them.

Now thats true freedom. Free to follow where God leads. Its in following Him, we begin to grasp that Satan, truly, cannot touch us. What prison have you built?

God is good...God's grace gives indescribable freedom.
