Freedom

Freedom.  I said before that there is freedom in responsibility.  This sounds like a contradiction of terms.  But once you learn that you are responsible for your own future, by making the right choices today, and living out the consequences of those choices tomorrow, you realise that you are no longer in bondage.  You no longer have to worry about feeling ashamed or guilty.  You don’t have to worry that you’re going to get caught or that something could go wrong.  Because you have chosen to do the right thing, the right things are definitely going to happen.  That’s liberty.  Taking control of yourself and your emotions, leads to freedom.  Not worrying about what others say about you because you know inside you that you are doing the right thing, doing the best that you can with what you have, brings freedom. Knowing that this is your journey, your adventure, that you have control over your own life, brings absolute freedom.  Taking responsibility for your actions, brings total and complete freedom. And once you have come to this conclusion, you become responsible.  You become trustworthy, dependable, reliable, true to yourself, sure and constant.  You don’t have to be anything to anyone – you can just you yourself.  The person you were created to be.  And once you become the unique and special person you always were on the inside, your cup overflows.  You give without even realising it.  Because you are complete in Him, in every single way, you’re content and unchanging, and people flock to you.  They want what you have – they want that freedom.  All it really is, is taking responsibility.  Knowing that if you just do the right thing, the right things will happen.  Every time.  No matter what.  My life is in my own hands.  Freedom is mine.
