Protect your FREEDOM!
A friend’s remark challenged me and I want to ask you ladies the question I’ve been pondering on for a week now: How protective are you of your freedom or the gifts God has given you along your journey to freedom? Maybe you have built a close love relationship with God over the past year by waiting in His presence and studying His Word… Are you protecting this treasure? Maybe, like me, you have begged God for wisdom to incorporate daily exercise into your life, and you’ve finally found a way to get to the gym or found a friend who holds you accountable… Are you taking good care of this gift? What about your eating? Did you finally get to a place where you’ve gone without the foods that make you binge for a few months, and you no longer dream about food or plan a binge in the back of your head? How are you protecting this freedom? What about your dreams? Have you made some strides towards the things that God has placed in your heart? Maybe you’ve felt for the first time in years how the cloak of depression lifted and joy slowly crept back into your life as you started reaching for your dreams… Are you guarding those dreams? I’m asking this question, because I’ve become aware of an arrogant carelessness in my own life the minute I “feel” that I have a handle on something (which is usually a miracle or “gift” from God to begin with). I’ve also heard back from many women who made huge strides forward in breaking out of bondage and falling in love with Jesus, just to fall right back to where they’ve started. I don’t mean to be negative at all, but I do want to warn you… YOU HAVE TO …
