There's this thing in life that every single person desires. Freedom.

Everyone finds freedom somehow. Whether that is swimming at a nude beach. Or dressing weird and being ok with that. Some people simply live by themselves and try not to be involved in the rest of the universe. The only true freedom is found in Christ. He gives us freedom from the bondage of our sin and from so much more.

When I think of freedom, I think of a girl, running through a field. Her hair is flying behind her and is caught in the wind. She is laughing, throwing her head to the sky. She is running free. The evening sun is sparkling in her eyes and her laughter warbles with the birds. She is alone, with her God. Nothing can mar this time with Him. She is feeling peace, and freedom, and nothing can rob her of it.

I love freedom. I want more freedom in my life. There is a deep pulling in my heart that screams for more and more freedom in my life. I feel like I need freedom to be myself in the midst of a society that tries to make me somebody else. I need freedom to be different, and to be ok with that. I need freedom to rest in Christ, and to realize that nothing else matters, except what He thinks.
