unnervingly free

Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

The moment we start to get nervous we’re too free is the moment we’ve begun to understand the beginnings of the freedom God wants for us.

It’s the kind of freedom that releases us from the opinions of people who judge us.

We’re allowed to pursue the dreams God has placed in our hearts.

We can live exempt from worry.

We can walk away at any time.

We can forgive ourselves for our past.

The question is, how will we choose to live? Conforming to the standards we’ve been handed  (look like this, think like this, ‘some things you just have to deal with’)? Or will we live another way entirely? Constantly being transformed into the person God created us to be — free and fulfilled in who we were created to be.

Undoubtably, this is the message of Christ. Through him, we are free. And his Spirit — the Spirit of freedom — lives with us.
