FREEDOM!

​Daily Verse:  John 8:36 – If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 

Daily Quote:   “We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.” 
--William Faulkner
 
What does it mean to be free?  Before you go any further, ask yourself that.  What does it mean to you to be free?  It could mean to be free to make your own decisions or choices.  It could mean to be free to be true to yourself.  It could mean to be free to forge your own path in a specific career or area in school.  It could mean being free from worry or pain or injustice.  It could mean being set free from a place or situation.  Freedom can also be a place in your mind, not just where you go physically.

No matter what freedom means to you, we agree that it is important and that everyone needs it.  What if I told you that you could have freedom in every sense of the word by accepting Christ as your Lord and Savior?  What if I could promise you that you could be happy, truly happy just by opening your mouth and saying that you believe in the Lord Jesus, that he was God’s son who came to earth and died for our sins, and who rose again to be with his Father in heaven - (That can be found in the bible in Romans 10:9 by the way.)?  What if that is ALL that you have to do to be free today?  Well, you CAN be free by doing just that!

God loves you and when he created you, he did so with love in mind.  Every detail, every line, every curve, every hair, every part of you GOD lovingly created for friendship and love.  God is your friend and he loves you and desires to have a relationship with you.  When you accept that from him, you can trust that:

• He will forgive you and love you!
• He will always know what’s best for you!
• He will always supply your needs!
• He will not ever leave you!
• He will always have your back!
• He is the most powerful person in creation and he is looking out for you and loves you!

Once you accept GOD’s love, you are free and free indeed!
So, now that you know what to do to be free, what will you do?
What will you strive for or dream? 
What will you believe?

• Fear no one because GOD has you! 
• Dream big and live life without worry! 
• Know that GOD is with you through it all!
• Believe all things are possible with Christ!

Today, you can make the choice to be free.  It does not cost money.  You do not have to wait until you are perfect.  You do not have to clean up nice.  You do not have to even move from where you are at this very moment.  All you have to do is tell GOD you want to be free.  Just say it out loud or silently in your head, “GOD, I want to be free.  Jesus, make me free!  I believe in you, that you are the son of GOD and that you died for my sins and that you rose again to be with your Father in heaven.  Because of that, I am now free and I am saved.  From this moment on, I am free.”

• Then, believe GOD will honor that prayer – that declaration!
• Expect FREEDOM! Freedom from your past, from mistakes, from pain and hurts!
• Expect POSITIVE CHANGE!  Walk with your head high and KNOW you are loved, you are valued, you are somebody to GOD!  And that means something great!
• Expect GOD to DO SOMETHING BIG in every area of your life simply because he loves you!  

GET YOUR FREEDOM TODAY!
