Have you ever felt stuck, taking one step forward, then two steps back? How about depressed, or worried, or like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? Yeah, me too. I remember when I kept trying to win God's love. I saw him as this big powerful God up in the sky who was mostly disappointed in me. But that's a lie. Our God offers us wonderous love and a type of freedom that can only be found in him. Freedom can be defined in several ways for different individuals. Some people are in bondage to fear, to sin, to other people, to circumstance. Through Christ we are assured God delivers, rescues, frees, and releases believers from all kinds of chains: be they physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual. But to feel that kind of freedom, to fully experience that, I had to stop viewing God as a passive, far off power in the heavens and understand he's sitting right next to me, he's walking with me daily and he wants a relationship with me and with you! It's not about knowing there is a God, it's about accepting him in your heart and having a relationship. There's a difference. Many people believe there is a God but never truely know him and the freedom he offers. Don't miss out on what God has for you. There is a reason your reading this right now, everything has a purpose. Maybe you've been running from God your entire life or maybe you know of him but have never walked with him before in a relationship. Are you ready to start a new chapter in your life? Are you ready to come out of your cave and live like never before? Come out of your depression, the hurt, the bitterness and live. Stop being afraid of the unknown, it is your time to rise up. It’s time to live in joy and peace. He came so that you may live and live life abundantly (John 10:10). So what are you waiting for? Pick up your cross and let’s go! Here's how:
