Freedom..

A lot of times we want to grow up fast, because when you become an adult you are free to do as you like. You have your freedom, your parents do not rule over you anymore. And trust me, I am very familiar with the wanting of this. But when you are a Christian you learn a different type of freedom.

As a christian freedom has a whole different meaning. Freedom isn't leaving home, it is coming home.When Jesus died on the cross he conquered death, and with that he gave us life, he gave us the freedom we needed to go back home. He frees us from our sins, so we can run back to our Father.  We are no more slaves of the darkness, we are free in His light.

When Adam and Eve fell in sin, we turned away from God. We left our home. To keep us on a path, came laws. Rules that condemn, that bind us. We became slaves. We were no longer free. Jesus came to break those boundaries, and set us free again. Our chains are broken. We can go back home. We can go to that promised land God has for us.

Today my encouragement is very simple. I would like for you to take a moment, and accept this freedom and share it with those around you. Stop thinking about when you will be free in this world. Accept the freedom Jesus has given us, now. And let's walk this walk together as brothers and sister. We are all going home.


God Bless you, and keep being a blessing to others.
