Free to be, Free

It is more vital to be socially accepted today than it has ever been before. The entire world seems to be going through a social crisis.

Taking back my freedom has been one of the most rewarding and greatest feelings I’ve ever felt. We all deserve freedom. Freedom to be different, to decide and dedicate our lives to what we as an individual strongly believes.

“For where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty.”

God did not create people to be doormats. He gave us a mind to use and a voice to speak.

All my life I did what others wanted me to do and this made it so easy for people to abuse, misuse and walk all over me. As a result, I imagined God as someone who also wanted to control and take away my freedom, but “God is not like man.”

I had to do something different, like set myself apart to spend more “alone” and personal time learning and knowing God, for myself.

When I began to take actions that were against what I was told to believe, my actions were mistaken as rebellion, when they were not. That’s because my surroundings were filled with people who were like me, afraid to be free.

The other side of freedom can be scary. Although you feel strongly about the place you’re stepping into, and you can feel God is leading you, you still feel stuck in the comforts of what everyone else expects from you. You are unaware of how you have allowed others opinion of you to take you away from freedom and your rights to decide.

Your struggle to be free can be your fight against society, culture, religion, and family traditions. It could be the reason for your anxiety. Whatever this freedom is you mustn’t allow people to stop you from pursuing it. Don’t waste another moment bound when you have every right and the tools to be free.
