Romans 8:1-2
So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.
There is a great song by worship artist Todd Fields...
When I think of freedom, two things to come to mind. The song above by Todd fields and the scene in Brave Heart where Mel Gibson's character says the following..."They can take our lives, but they cannot take our FREEDOM!"
It is all about true FREEDOM. The devil wants to take away that freedom and hold us in bondage to it. The devil never wants to release us from it or allow us to forget it.
Christ, however, longs to forgive us, restore us and complete us. We no longer need to feel unacceptable by anyone. If the God of the universe loves us and accepts us, then we should truly feel love and accepted.
It has to begin with us and who we are trying to find acceptance from...is it God or the world? Is it Christ or our friends? Be FREE today!

I can't live up to others' expectations. But GOD, by His glorious forgiveness and mercy and grace, lets me come to Him! No matter how sad or hurt I may be; when I ask for that forgiveness, I am able to be free with my CREATOR!!!
